Petrified Forest

 
 
Bondage of naked lust – defiler of beauty
Discipline of a captive heart, a maiden’s plight
Subservient acolyte, who submits to her chains.
Masterhood of the stark & starless night
 
thunder’s song, a mournful dirge
the sorrow that the sparrow knows
she bears my invasion upon burning thighs
in seminal rivers my torment flows
 
bracelets of leather at ankles & wrists
suspended by hemp from an oaken beam
my whip abrades her buttocks raw
as stone walls echo her mordant scream
 
a wilting ragdoll with tangled hair
my craving is gilded by the hurt in her eyes
our gothic tale is quilled in perdition
the rape of romance, & passion’s demise
 
we drift as outcasts in a petrified forest
these bitter roots of destiny
I eclipse the moon with ugliness
I crush it with agony…
