My Meek Maiden
Mischief shaped like a slender solitary mademoiselle
Tantalizing my carnal calibration towards indecency
Cloaked as the city of truth
Anointing me to serve as her gatekeeper
In her namesake, I devote every weary second of consciousness
Entranced by this myopic hypnosis
Although my outward gaze is sealed
My inward facing eyelids creep apart
After decades of dolorous dormancy
The maiden of my musings
A mirage hiding behind a mask of malice
Mindfully manipulating me with Machiavellian mastery
Mistakenly meeting my gaze
My meek maiden of misery
Now mercilessly mauled and marauded
By this misty marine-hued miracle
Known as my third eye
