Defying thresholds of pain br Marching clots of anguish br Seething embers flash br Broken bones become ash br Shooting neurons rush br Burning blood races to flush br Mind...a forest filled with fog br Heart...a croaking frog br Slipping into a bottomless abyss br Sound of a serpent hiss? br Demons visit in a line br Will you still be mine?br br Renu Rakheja a.k.
