			"Light"

rapscallion days
myriad reflections
choking down the milk
the burning blood
of life

screaming inside
violent shards
gasping for the breath
from the lips
that kissed me once

orphaned hellion
angel of darkness
digging up the earth
that i know
was once my grave

martyred ravens
ash-filled skies
begging for the rays
i stole from 
you before
