Innocent Cruelty

By: Herenicus Posted on: September 27, 2014

Shackled to sabulous thought, and

Osculant trespasses wrought, a

Nocturne, imprisoned,

Impelled but to listen,

Manacled, captived and caught.

Excrucio,

Lacerating wind repairing,

Excrucio,

Growling floe, endangered below,

Inhumed, baptismal dress wearing,

Swallowing water, unsparing,

Excrucio.

Silent a seething star burns to behold,

Essayed escape through cool waters falling,

Midsummer swelters too rarely parole, but

Mock by degrees the aqueous calling,

Orphic, her mystery captures a gull,

Hung if by Vastar with strings overhead,

Diving, encircling breezes what lull,

Ravishing, whispering words left unsaid,

Umber lips part with a Sefyric smile,

Echoing ancient and violent passion,

Gorging monstrosity, nonpareil style,

Neatly devours in consummate fashion,

Advice for sailors what shelter ashore:

Merciless waves are sireni allure.
