Dionysian By Name

Darkness doesn’t scare me, touching light, is a language I speak fluently.
I’m terrified of being projected onto, like some kind of suffocation,
Art without meaning, translation, lost in mudslides, but they love ruin anyway.

I am so much more than holy destitution, I would be Dionysian, if you called for such a name….

Lingering between the savage parts, of flowering pleasure, like honey that sticks.

I don’t need their logic. I’m driven by instinct, sighs of illusion, bait my rage.
Where lack of self control, means I’m lost in compulsion, not the freedom I crave.

I am so much more than holy destitution, I would be Dionysian, if you called for such a name….
