Finding solace
Inside her machine
Finding peace
In short times
Insurmountable in-betweens
Sweat soaked sheets
Inhaled hair in face
Moans, grunts, names, and squealing’s
Complete ecstasy within heart beats
Now shared – this time and space
Beautifully scarred queen
Not mine – never been – barely seen
This written-off affair ended
An unrelenting goose chase
Begins
Again.
By patiently malevolent means
My suicide angel
A proudest moment or greatest mistake
No love to pledge - even less to lend
Finding solace in a husbands
Oblivion
To take.
Or to give.
Misery machine –
A ravines ledge
Cuckolding fiend
A ruinous specious edge
Trapped inside the lion’s den.
Neither friend – nor fake.
Without grace
Within sin.
Epic beginnings
Lead to tragic and anemic ends.
End.
