Reserata Carcerem X

when lured life smothers wills and wish
that felon features foster bliss
maring meagre mind, passion pricked
that depression tarred tent pitch

when jolting joy met'morphoses
draped'n borrowed gown, bruised boredom gives -
callous contractions of moanings
sundry oddities attending

make moaning instinct not a lease
to vying vices - sassy sprees
retain rustic rage, canvass thoughts :
worries are items trials bought

damp death ain't a coursed confider
when odds gnaw, make faith your teacher.

Note: of drugged depression. Written for a contest by Ashlee Shaikh I was invited to participate in.
