Bloody Shores of Fear and Ice
Bloody shores of fear and ice, seldom seen
To be the stringent strangler borne of leaden blight
The barred bastard, whore of the night
Seen so the lowly leers led to fear the fall of life
Stitch of mind, sown to soiled sickly ails
Hie thee, and hail, to the tale of mind, in
Bloodily bodied names, satin faced for the dame
Paled in pallor, for the witch’s wicked hour
Within Buoyant bliss, sweetness slashed by sharpened kiss
Miss of missives, begotten the barbed sir,
“for who shall see, for who shall impede”
“th’seed’d blight o’birth shall receive, to be…”
The bane burdened to birth, borne blade bade,
Shameless flesh on whitened plane, loss of gain,
Pain of vanity, forlorn on sanity, to be,
Morose and emancipated, of eldered youth, to see,
Flesh of forborne fantasy, lay'n upon foreskin of fantasised fallacy
Blackened and drowned the breast in mulled mirage
Befallen the besotted and kissed the tendered brow
Love to leave, the missus to be missed, to the
Bow of mutilated man, and to feel
The warmth of human disease.
(is to see what is meant to be seen)
To be loved within livid leers
To be kissed within saddened tears
To fight the fall of the detestable
To fight the hind of the unmissable
To let fate take upon the shores of snow,
Is to know the end of fear, and the enticement of ice and foe.
