PASSION
Swirling
Ivory thoughts
Steeped
In red-flecked
Blackness.***
AMBITION
Fire
Burning--searing
Torturing
My tied hands***
CONCEIT
Houses perched
On stenching
Quicksand***
CONSCIENCE
Racking sobs
Of
A heart
Which cannot cry***
FEAR
Black soul
Naked
To
A shrieking wind***
HYPOCRISY
Sleek--
Dripping with
An
Inner oil
Which rots***
TEMPER
Cramming pity
Of
A blurred mind***
CUPIDITY
Unclean Lancet
Unnerving
The eye***
JEALOUSY
Swaying Towers
Prey
To a zephyr***
HATE
Unspoken words
Carrion
To nauseate
And snarl
The guts.
