Left Behind under the Corpse

Ravens feathers danced among the rooted breeze
 forests of tiny string hair  salute in frozen erected sensation
diamond hard skin-china clay baked surface

i liquid poured through ransomed veils
spilling ,riding , destroying valley and curve
mortal joy torn into freedoms secrecy 
a brushed kiss saved in expedition 

Measured height as earth seasoned enveloper 
captures loves frozen bed
everyday now the funeral of light
all rooms crypts that creep from tomb too tomb
unclip me from this mystery missing 
​​​​​​​overtaken in immortality  lies depth size bone and bursting dust

sweet spectre you taunt from shadows shallow hold
thrown from heavens comfort
to fall and fall,and fall
each festering hour ,creeps slow written in vague promise
i slid under your flesh ,salted the blood and cradled the sights demands
no warning
no titanic argument
no blessings on the broken whiskey bottle
no smoked or chemical priestly hallucinations 

locked behind the steel well made doors
​​​​​​​equipped ,planned escalation
you left me inside the corpse

​​​​​​​my bedroom portcullis guards the centuries
delirium gasps in mirrors sordid reflected game
i taste the scented air,while choking in loves slashed despair

​​​​​​​in nights gallant forgiveness,
we will be discovered ,
and i leave my flesh piled tidy in bloody scorn
soon i will once more be under yours.

Hello, Terry.
I wondered if you could enlighten me as to the meaning of the following line:
 ❝a brushed kiss saved in expedition❞ → I would understand if the last word in that line were expectation. But the way it is worded now it sounds like stolen kisses while on a trip of some sort—an excursion, if you will. Please let me know.

You've got a few nice alliterative lines going on in this.
 all rooms crypts that creep from tomb to tomb❞  →tomb to tomb is a good example.
❝ mystery missing❞ → from the following line is another.
I really enjoyed most of all the darkness permeating the entirety of your verse.
Bravo.
Well penned.
