...frozen butterfly requiem dreams


I knew better
than to tamper
with her youth

was wiser than
falling for her
apparent charms



but I let myself go,
swimming in wings of
my frigid butterfly,
I let myself delve
into the depth of her
though I can't say I
let her delve into me,
because I knew it would
end like this before
we spent that first night,
when I buried a tongue
between the silken folds
of her inferno's chamber
feeling the steady rise
of her bones frail structure
to meet the wonders
I freely gave


I opened her eyes to
the infinite possibilities of
an understanding man's warmth,
my careful manipulations
teasing sombre supple flesh
into an intricate dance
beneath my pleasing palms
tender touches leading
to the brink of rapture,
falling ever so slowly into
the peace of sanguinary slumber,
awakening hereafter with deep
seated longings for my arms
around her willowy waistline


claims to need forever more
packing my ears with sweet candy
so I heard naught but her panting
breath upon the arch of my shoulder
and I let myself be deafened though
my thoughts battered at reasons door


I am too used and bitter to fulfill
your sweet fantasies my cobalt diamond,
my core has bled to fulfillment for the one
I shall die with her face etched
into my bleeding orbs of eyes
this is as surely known to me as sun's
rising over azure horizon's pitiful reaches
will commence once more on the morrow


yet I wandered into the crimson sunset
trying to prevail upon my demons
building the resources I needed
to give youth's beauty all she needs
set sail from my heart and home
roaming the dry dusty roads of
the utterly desolate and unknown,
stood in glows of foreign streetlights
whiling away times torrid troubles
bottle in hand and smoke in other
retreating from the bright basking
to hide tears in the welcoming shadows


And then I returned


finding her need gone
fierce longings wilted
fraudulent faiths strewn
across simpering sidewalks
her ears falling to the
deceits and judgements
found within my old nest,
the very nest of vipers
that I found stagnant,
a vilely vulgar sect that
threatened to choke the
remnants of compassion
through bleeding bones


I knew better
than to tamper
with her youth,
knew her sight
wasn't folded
in the layers
needed to be
the woman I
sought her to be,
she wasn't wise
enough to truly
seperate truths
from deception

I lay now losing
myself within the
glints of a barrel
contemplating what
could have been
done and what should
never have been
led into conception

and as I stare
transfixed within
the youth's image,
I find this lovingly
cold curve of trigger

is giving me
an erection
