Veritas
Allure her trust (Then surprise dagger thrust!) Infidel apologues begin. Little hand and palm (Will she rend the brazen calm?) Stoke the perverse pleasure. Enter her soul (Where’s the damn hole?) Through to the other side. Fondle her heart (Was she sweet or slightly tart?) Tryst with beguiled veritas. Stifle her screams (Does she have dreams?) Let the silence drip blood. Plan a new game (Did she know it when I came?) Maze in a diabolical maze. Prey on her bloom (Was it a cradle or a tomb?) Breed and feed unholy hunger. Slam the door (Hemorrhaged soul-globs on the floor) Begin your life on the debris of hers. --------------
