Cursed cacophony auditory strain
precisely carved words regurgitated,
crossbow tense tongue stretched back
ready to unfurl a new volley of
hateful intentions, disguised in
ambiguous veils honed razor sharp,
designated intent:
maximum pain; minimal clarity.
Confusion compounds the killing floor
lowering emotion even to depths unfurled,
left blank yet to demonic rage alone-
portal key to all that is red and black,
all that smears or smudges
is unlocked beyond this gateway;
formication fathers freedom from fears
one step begets the Temple of Set.
Placid skin pageants peel back
layers lying under the loathing,
volatile vicissitudes produce
predictably profane vulgarities,
itching, crawling skin carved into
a carnival of tactile orgasms.
Eloquent ritual stabbing
love in vein leading,
anger gallops gruesomely in;
buzzkill defies explanation
yet again one simple moment
of bliss unreasonably denied.
Taboo and tainted trust
becomes me, all I am is
unspeakable evil yet more...
While I lose all sensation
numbing myself to society
paralysis stalemates my heart,
emotions oscillate away from
the necrosis of a peeled soul.
