Herbal Remedy

I Rosemary Peeling back the layer, reaching into my pain. Bleeding at the touch, and seeping through with tears. Relishing such agony, I'm luscious and alive. Writhing in ecstasy, I await your penetrations. Blood flows from my lips, onto these pages. Staining white with black, you adore this outpouring. Christened poetry, and laid to rest with hate, my children are all stillborn, and shall take my name. II Sage Forever unto me you sing, my songbird, my lullaby. Eternity is not enough, I demand you for longer. Canary, you are yellow! Corruption breeds decay. Look at all your reapings, prizes from my hand. The nature of a vulture, the talons are so sharp. A beak used for singing, is just as good for pain. Inflict this race with hate, tear them all to shreds, label them demonic, and rise again from ash.
