Of shame and filth,
My coward confessions
of cupidity and sin,
My redblooded eyes
Murders of innosense,

Past impressions
Rogue confessions
Evoke restraint,
Hovering fear
Every time you are near
Newly made perceptions
Silent misconceptions
Inner hesitation
Over wrought sensation
Never-ending elation....
