Pulsing Pleasure

the sum of darkness
using an abacus
measured in fears  
of stinging nettles
teakettles  
 
bringing glory  
to the caul
with a needle
of it all  
 
tattooing the face
of death's bugaboo  
in twilight's lace  
 
malevolent faith
who eats fear
hush now be quiet  
it's listening to your heart
 
pulsing pleasure
eating your yellow with a knife
the elite dine on our nightmares
while we huddle in mass, helpless
 
raise your torch oh statue
and take a look around you
the land of freedom for some...
 
isn't her beauty tempting?
Written by adagio
