Blacked out in red

My bones drive the calamity of shocks
That swing across my flesh
A concubine covered in blood
When all birds have flown
Stark raving mad
A convulsion inside walls 
Shaking hearts when none can be counted
All pigeoned in sky and mind
Blacked out in red
Like cross-fettered doves
Breeding incessantly awaiting the dawn
Though we sink in the mire
We priest heaven’s ravens
A secondary course
Pages of ghosts 
Howl the streets in frantic
Though love be lost
Art cannot but love
A mother’s grazing in heaven sent
But you were a torrent in my side
I find veins not mine
I pluck them out violently
Needing death as a catalyst
To breathe sweeter jasmine
Walking the dead across walls 
That I have made
And not walls incarnate
Dreary speaking of lies
That the crow anchors
As a call to arms
Of my so unsafe soul
My sensitive nature
That betrays me to you
I fall into your clutches
With no just reward 
But more aching of ear to toe
To make masters
With lunacy like a charm
My graves scare you
And your touch frightens me
