Holding cup & saucer
containing its tainted mud
black & thick as African ink
with 72 (un)natural spices-
roasting, roasting, raise to toast
to the tide, to evoke an infernal seal
imprinted as a stain-
registered as gut reaction-
reaching out to no One
in the raven circle abyss, dreary
in solitary, Imp-ious nature-
a starless kiss, livid-
as it stretches across lips
for the final, funereal finale-
no morning, the spotless white
so saintly lucid, no mourning-
all with just a sip of Goetia coffee
from Solomon's very vein.
Author notes
Crowley inspired.

I think in places this may have been a bit overdone, perhaps too many images.
Still your metaphor is well done and the emotion consistent throughout. -
How can one not lie dark roasted coffee, especially when it comes with all this history? Filled with so many descriptive words, I liked the flow and thoughts shared in these lines.

I really like the rambling nature of this poem... and inspired by Crowley - I think you did great justice
very powerful and wonderfully written
Keep writing

Oh My what a Powerful piece You have penned and this tugs at Spirit to take a listen
These lines tug hard~~
roasting, roasting, raise to toast
to the tide, to evoke an infernal seal
imprinted as a stain-
registered as gut reaction-
reaching out to no One
You have also been Hoodwinked by

Dark. In a way I find fascinating.
Lovely.
"roasting, roasting, raise to toast
to the tide, to evoke an infernal seal
imprinted as a stain"
That's my favorite part.. Something about that part stirs something in me.

HOODWINK!!!
great write, I love the darkness and the half rambling lunacy found in this poem.
May the stars always light your path.

darkly done my good man, darkly done!
great use of metaphors and I especially liked;
in the raven circle abyss, dreary
in solitary, Imp-ious nature-
a starless kiss, livid-
as it stretches across lips
for the final, funereal finale-
sorta reminds me of an old girfriend of mine
But yeah, sweet...I liked
