Steph A. Bills - An Ostentatious Eve
|
The garden flickered a luminous glow along the husk
A brilliance that croons along the greenery
My tresses languid down the ivory
Netted among the grounds forced to tameness
He came to me slithering.
A jade coloring that lagged towards my bloom
Murmuring disguised truths twirled around my bust anchored to my psyche
The lingo versed in the tongue of my shape
The underwritten oath that covenanted my amour-propre
Expansion from the He to which I was bound
Trickery and wile imperative to reach abandon
Femme verse Virile
Forbidden bark rippled along my tips
He came waltzing, enticed by my personage
Convinced, he reached and with that final ruminate took
the crispness tantalizes as the polish drips from his eyes, bleaches pastel into my skin
Violence, Calamity
Carnage, Plight
Divinity bottomed, my glory a reversion
Pine coloring danced along the drained grounds
Cackling and slinking as clumps of my golden mane hang lifeless
My eminence drained, my actions fruitless
My vanity, disastrous
The man bred monstrosity
My lipstick smeared down that sang like blood
This modernized corruption,
the guilt behind the smoke coming from this gun
The emerald serpent, a shaded lover
left me stranded spattered in gore
Smoke clogged the airways as the trident turned native
Sparks the image, imprinted in my brain
As darkness ushered me home
