"Midnight Pantheon"





Catholic images
roll
through my dreams

Gothic seductress
bloody lips
of love wet
inviting

Black and white photograph shadows inviting exploration

Rose petals strewn
Standing starkly
against marble
white
angels

Silent whirlpool
of leaves dancing along
Voltaire's tomb leading secret lovers
secluded groping


Moaning tokens to a demi-god
of thought

Whilst
fakirs of lust
pour whiskey
on musician's
grave

Sex on monuments to past lives
lived imbue
magic to mere
bio-mechanics

Love of death
death of love...
sliding into and
out of hot pink gates

Bas-relief imprints
scraped into a lovely alabaster
ass

Obverse impression
of grief
impressed
upon
skin

Leaving tiny
bloody tears
impregnated
with
marble dust
semen

While tombs
are coated with
living
sacred oils

Death's
theatre fades
with sun light through
Beech Trees

Offerings accepted
dry...
in morning
embrace

Worshipers of
physical senses
walk in boulevards
full

Taking their blessing
or curses
with
them

Temporary travels
erotic
among
reaped fields
of stone

-Fin-
