Lost inside passion
with burning desire
Vision refocused
in tunnels of fire
Screams of delirium
christen the night
Darkness a metaphor
tainted delight
One then another
the virgins do fall
Lascivious demons
unleashed in the hall
Till daybreak approaches
new light on the way
The beast back in harness
—this evening to stray
(The New Room: January, 2024)
Closing The Circle
When routine things
start to look typical
The typical
—becomes routine
(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)
