Selfish Solitudes

Selfish Solitudes

Dragon demons once possessed
Lingering lullabies of earth’s obsessed
Fallen Angels in the great abyss
Fractured fallacies of love’s first kiss

Emerald eyes parasitic pose
Seductive sting of the red-ed rose
Thieving tears that steal your dreams
Selfish solitudes of sensual streams

Dormant doorways of the deep
Obstinately open when we weep
Scurrilous shadows of nestled night
Sagacious shades of blackest white.

GREAT wordsmanship here, Winged Warrior. Good luck in his contest. It's so difficult to know what he wants!! I just feel thankful when it ever happens for me!
