"50 Words for Poe: Sibylline"




Hush your mind



In ancient Persia 
Her sands
drift through your divination hands
Through Her dark mirrors,dethroned now 
Xerxes,you stand before Her naked

"WINTER"


the beautiful season 
of suspension
where we find 
our true selves

hibernating

under sacred blankets
of wisdom won 
dreaming of all 
the days past, gone

fragrant 
Dark Pink 
Yellow Frangipani Petals
surround her boat, 
gifts sent  
from the big fat bellied trees
in the Queen's Land,
standing fixated, 
rooted to the spot
they...

"The Black Habit"



Bast never rests
claws sharp as scissors

The Black Habit
no natural skin

torn to shreds
with a cream filled kiss 

Legs wrapped around a velvet lick
Perfume purrs in your ears

Like a Black Cat
Bast never rests

Like a Black...
