Writing Wrongs (Death)

Poetic pyramids 
Built on sins 
Built with lies
Stolen from within 
Lies which spin
Causing you to stay
Even when these phrases
Are really giving you
Reasons to run away
From my poems written
In a kiss
Comparing your voice
To bird songs
This is my nightingale’s song  
To write wrongs

Not one but two 
Horns the devils 
Return to their perch 
Sit so calmly on both
My shoulders throwing 
Boulders not stones at the
Mirrors in glass house 
Feelings whispering me
“re-live your evil" not
“relieve” and kill
These weasels 

Harvest feelings
Cotton crops words 
Used to prop open 
Doors to desire dripping
From my fingers my evil 
Perspires soaks defences
Get sticky and unbearable 
Fogs prescription lens’s 
My drugging offensive 

Call these phrases vines
The undermining factor 
Used to shatter defences
Picking locks on chastity 
Belts nothing like this
Ever felt so write (ing)
Wrongs
