The current I'd created here
is ever a concealed farce,
an irony incarnate
formed to draw out the
poison I can't live without.

I remember the dancing,
blistered smiles atop
chapped spirits,
masks to veil
the darkness her
warm steps belie.

I remember laughing,
parallel tears to the
fire I soar into praying
to feel the memories
there.

this womb is hallowed,
bittersweet home
to elicit the birth
of fear.

Was going to use the birth of death in the final stanza, I like the idea of the womb, an aspect of the woman which creates life birthing it's antithesis...in practice it sounded a bit forced so I used fear instead which conveys a similar mood. Hope you like, image is from [link]
