Engraved like the birth rights on walls of my womb,
is your scent in my eyes, euphoric perfume permeates
Although my compassion is indebted to your innocence in pictures,
my assurance comes stronger when your melodies invigorate.
All I'm straining to say is that I hate your presence,
but I'm torn by the composure your singing contains.
Innumerable sopranos from the passage of oxygen,
and oft-slighted altos to temper the frames.
I trust that you will imply indiscretion
when coming into my dark corners tonight.
Cover face with washcloth like dust on Hieroglyphics,
and increase the vocality of your harp-strings tight.
I will make an effort to be oblivious to your shape,
and praise you with passage of applaud from my palms.
Your esteem and security will be well attended.
Reborn in the fiction that my destination is your lawn.
So if windows crack and passers-by notice screams,
it will only be results, for the curtain has been elevated.
Mortality becomes as priceless as gambling integrity.
Your image is my nightmare, but your tone, my inspiration.

"when coming into my dark corners tonight." - I understand the use of "corners" but I feel "corner" would work better. Just an opinion.
A good poem that you have written here.
