Illnesses to die for...

Staring through the mirror,
I see dark sky's,

the clouds storming above me.
I'm staring out the window,

two perfect white doves flying above me like little snow crystals,

eyes like burgundy pearls,

they give me the faith I need to carry on.

The blood red, velvet curtains,

swaying around me...

Embers burn in my heart, as I bleed inside...

I cough, the blood covered stones fall out of my mouth.

 I know I'm dying, this illness, this pain,

emerging from the darkness,

engulfing me like hungry ivy vines,

and then i sleep...

    a wonderful wonderful poem.
    I am glad you were able to use
    all of the words, but it was
    only supposed to be ten lines.
    I am not going to ask you to
    edit because it's fine the way
    it is, but unfortunately, it
    won't qualify....grrrr....Love, Lane
