Ambrosia Paper Crane

Winner of the paper crane contest

The cold needle in my arm

Warming my existence

Keeping me locked away

Reality takes a spin

I venture the skies

I float between heaven and hell

Like a superhero

Searching for another rush

 

It wasn’t until I saw you

I realised that ambrosia

Has more than one form

Though I couldn’t inject you in my veins

Your eyes took me on a trip

Coiled up in your love

Like a superhero

I protected you from evil

 

Searching my way round

Hiding from reality

A single paper crane in my pocket

Reminding me of the day

Ambrosia in your eyes

Dancing together

Under the flashing lights

Coiled up in your love

Like a superhero

I crawled back in your arms

 

No longer was I a stranger

As I washed away my sins

Your eyes locked me up

As your love

Warmed my blood

I took you with me

Out of the window we flew

But reality hit you

Like a superhero

I washed my hands in your blood

 

The paper crane soaked

The red luscious nectar

My world fell apart

As your ambrosia coloured the pavement

A cold feeling, staring into the barrel

My head takes a spin

As our blood coils together

Like a superhero

Lying next to you

Paper cranes never fly away

A very interesting and thought provoking write, the emotion and imagary raw.

Though I couldn't inject you in my veins
Your eyes took me on a trip
Coiled up in your love

It is like a tragic love story, really enjoyed reading you.
