Assualting It
For what do you beg my attention in wrath
Shall I now be a god to your vile misdeeds
Your promises that foamed your vowels in froth
Your habits promiscuous, your base creeds
Shall curse now your flat fear of withering breasts
Of sagging skin with creamy mildew speckling
Will this wash his putrid scent from your stained dress
O rage to see you stagnant and fast wrinkling
Your hubris too much to make a stage of shame
The brazen vixen the gods have frightened, hence
Turned she to me, adding more deceit to blame
And mongrel you dig to hide the evidence.
Yet in truth if mongrel defines all you are
Let me bone, or garbage overturned. I can
Not without my vixen live, we have one star
That makes us same, the gods also understand.
And where you are wrinkled I find the more crease
Where my tongue may suck until all flesh is taut
And your honey drips like milk and never cease
Lie to me that time is eternal then lie with me
And let us crnkling sheets like sea, in sweet wave
Rise, like two sounds to form one melody
For your beauty that rules makes me your fawning slave
