A Bit of My Life

Small snippets of my world - Anarchy, Cancer, Food, Drink, and myriads of other topics.

Answer to Lethe

Halt at my breast, cold hard and meaningless

Dispense with your formalities and beauteous lies

I do not wish to speak, I do not wish to dream

My nightmares are ravishments, my dreams hidden from eyes

Take your needs for fulfillment, masked in bravado

Distance until you have me captive then toss

It all out the window and beg for more

Then laugh at my pain when I weep for your loss

My soul made passionless by your deeds

My eyes turned hard by your lack of song

Your plumage lured me into your arms

And now that you have me to right your wrongs

You disregard that which you once held high

You plan for me a life which I didn’t need

Away from my breast you Great Deceiver

Man, your sex filled with hate and Greed

Back to my Hippolyta, wounded I return

There to find my rest from thine false eyes

I will draw the veil one last painful time

And fall into softness and away from lies.
