Born Babylonian

Her language was hidden,
Transcribing an impression
Of ancient hieroglyphics
In the walls of a heart
With dragon tongues.
 
Under antique tombstones,
She was an architect
Of symbiosis built
To reflect smoke and mirror
Behind a crackling fire.
 
As the sinful chambers projected,
Licking and lapping flames
Of lustful betrayal burned
Upon skin's touch like
The dance of her smoldering feet.
 
She earned a skull and dagger,
As her ignorant bliss
Of feigned, carnal indifference
Embodied an actor
Through spiritual deception.
 
Numb, calloused, hard-hearted,
An abducted inquisition
Of a chosen burden
To change her desire
Into scheming madness.
 
Entwined with opposition,
Chaotic oppression
Of misconstrued semantics
Mooted all interpretation
That innocent love could be.
 
As she gave herself to death,
The experimental phase
Of unrelenting obsession
With sour passion warping
Became wine bitter to the taste.
 
Born Babylonian,
Demonic damsel
Of a hedonic ontology
Amongst forgotten commitment
Was experienced autonomously.
