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.
