Perilously closeI fall.Reaching I yearn,But conscious of deathSo sweet and life-forgivingI am lost.Nectar of poisonEver presentI hurt.Chest tightBreath deep and fastMy heart hammers.Singing to my fright and fearsI ache to attainThe harper's handBut heed the siren's call. More..

Cold and callous Your regard seeks to maim That which is hot Yearning to tame. I approach from a distance Cool and aloof But tendrils of lust Bely ill-concealed proof. Talons dug deep You rend me asunder Craving to expose While dragging yourself under. You've ignited my fire Now you'll succumb to my flame Cold ... More..

The dark ethereal tide,A malevolent force,Seeps into minds abroad;With its malignant germ,A seed of corruption,It encompasses souls.The deadliest disease,Cataract of the mind,It fades one's perception;The bellicose virus,Havoc on common life,Impairs one's self control.Perceivable to none,An invisible trait,It strikes without ...
