Love's Manacles



     You are the Angel of curiousity and poison, 
in my little shop of errors.
You are my penance, a dungeon as I sentence myself in pre-judiced derision stoked, 
            with desire's frosted manacle, 
plunging in like a fool 
                     who told the King an off colored joke.
A daring maniacal look, 

    that lingered too long like a challenge 
        waiting to be received- 
in a thieves den to be took. Illy-perceived.
I threw caution to a Jezebel wind,
now, what will become of me?
