A Cut Above
Xavier was vile
In exhausting the privileges
Afforded to an affluent Libertine
A reputation for being nearly reptilian in his sordid conquest
The young dark prince of seduction
Coils around indulgent pink prey
To find him,
follow the trail of young hearts trampled underfoot
The poet's quill pinches in full erotic submersion
Promising a kingdom
Pulling out the rug to reveal
Torture stained cobblestone
He would not bat an eye
To inspire another suicide
Rich lips never fail to smile
When an angel ceases to fly
Another counted scratch upon the wall
In the hall of devilish gentleman
Masquerading around with masks of forbidden gods
Absinth stirs the conversation
Towards deeper twists of trickery
A visit to dark realms
If you have the coin in hand
Indulging sophisticated perversions in rarefied accommodations
Getting cleverly
creative
and meticulous
Of the manner
In which he shall be served

This reads like an artfully told story. I can visualize myself as part of it rather than just being a reader. Very vivid from start to end. I hope there is more :)

Are their references to other works, or is it just something you came up with? Really artfully done!

thank you kindly. This poem is part 2 of a 3 poem set. Part one is titled "The Libertine" and the conclusion is titled "Serpents of Society"
