Suffocating

Daunting dawn fiery as Hell, trembling particles swept away by furious winds

Demure darkness swallowed by a vortex, dreams visited fiendish territories

Deepening deception of time, torturing the soul with fiery rage

Nude trees, evaporating waters, the bald Earth devoid of feelings

Quarreling voices destabilize abodes, wilted will of defeated souls

Sputtering and flickering candles, elongated shadows crawling across salty walls

Sweltering warnings, refracted rage, an uncomfortable bed kicks out the lazy body

Extremely dehydrated emotions, befouled landscapes stressed with hellish resilience
