Nirvana

Like dried wine on stone

My eye is tinged with the reflection of droplets

Akin to the vine

His Agony sings memories of empathy and fire

He pleads “Please stop”

As I feed on the cadaver

Drunk with blood I cannot

Screams turn to whispers at last

The heavens forgot

Frantic he was then solemnly passed

I return to feast on this Phoenix

Above thunder claps
