Foreverlasting Night
There has been naught but naughtiness
within the castle’s tower walls
sad moaning sounds of haughtiness
cavorting in the castle halls
concealed within the royal lives
the nakedness of concrete lusts
skeletal hands of loyal wives
caressing smooth faced royal busts.
And yet the scent of pheromones
o’erpowers all, both kith and kin,
summons them to clutch the robe
that cannot cover both of them.
The dagger just the parting spite
of death’s foreverlasting night.
