Spring-Tide - Memories On the Breeze

Oh ...

Spring-tide ...
Always things that juxtapose,
Life never flows as smoothly as a gentle rill 'round a stone.
Brief notes of harmony, torn asunder by a cacophony of chaos,
Turmoil the norm ... reality the chill that bites...

Gothic Nights

My chamber teems with tensions, taut, that logic can’t withstand,
fragmenting mental masonry with memories unplanned,
as bitter tears from hazel eyes reduce the stone to sand.

Dim shadows cast by candles flit across the haunted room,

Predilections of the Phallic Beast

Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking

The Trials of Meretrix Canto Iii

Diminishing virtues stripped away
From the flesh

Course thy hot crimson blood; 
Dry cracked lips attempting to
Fashion broken words of compliance
That so must needs to be spoken...
