CursedAs a societal pariah,
am I not deserving a grand denouement?
When my tale reaches zenith,
will I be shackled,
by the abhorrent atrocities,
your accursed kind has wrought,
upon my tempestuous form?
Light my pyre,
I need a tan....

Just Some SunIn a transient instant,
I savored the ambrosial essence of bliss, witnessed the dawn adorning,
the skyline with tints of optimism.
In that ephemeral moment,
I felt an affinity with mankind.
Yet a sinister shroud eclipsed...

Today ClassEducational systematic analysis idiocy,
cogs to craft humans into mice chasing cheese.
Stand sit raise hand or don’t speak,

Crimson BouquetIn spectral glow moon's pallor,
country home towered ominously,
fortress bearing silent the tragedy,

Looking Glass of DreamsI use philosophical musings,
My key maker is reverie,
A few attempts may be needed,
Alignment may not occur each time.
Upon success, the door opens,
A mirror stands there, devoid of reflection,
Then a ripple, whatever part of you hidden,
Manifests.

Siren Sing For MeToo many sailors who have lived to tell,
Her siren song permeates,
day by day it fell.
Luring in ships to crash,
break,
splinter on cliffs,
She masters ethereal crescendos,

Calls My NameThe orb calls to me, beckons breast beat,
blood in veins permeates, face red with heat,
as I asphyxiate, am dominated, reach climax.
Each time lustful, more powerful, sensual.
I crave this fix, my only reason to exist,
addicted to...

My Mistress, the Moon
From mine chamber, breathless and perspiring upon the bed,
I spy you there, out my window, looming overhead.
Your gaze, a silent arbiter in the night,
I cloak my naked shame, to veil my plight.
Reigning atop her...

A Thousand RavensA twilight's passing thought of your mysterious powers,
in my lonely watch hours,
as a thousand Ravens in whispered flight,
their ebony eyes reflected in the moonlight.
Your poetry, your solemn soul, my legendary prince,
Westminster's ancient gates cannot contain-
