Lullabies of desperate results,
he comes dressed as salvation,
confusing ever so my heart.
It is such a wondrous talent
such creature could've ever obtained;
transgressions produced and beauty held within.
Lending me his hand; open wide,
his desire of rendering me whole;
commuting torture into sweet denial.
Agressions derived from possessions;
He won the controversial wars;
The Devil's sweet conjurement
endured me and conquered me completely...
Then insanity's remorse,
brought to thought the worst;
I was never mesmerized by your enchantments-
All this time, I was saner than you thought me to be;
Surely now, you admit defeat;
but being such obstinate and devilish;
you'll keep up summoning spells
until you realize I've beaten you
[on your own game]

Wow. The metaphors on this one are absolutely entrancing. They take you in until your understand them!..lol. This is so deliciously dark, sinister even. So many lines I like on this one. I think you did so well with both quotes. You captured the sin, the darkness, the sensual tone of insanity. Perfect last stanza; great impact upon the whole thing. Loves ya!
