"stabbing with her steely knives" #14
In ringing ecstasy,
the shiny pearls that wept in thee,
in burrows she calls to rave,
as she looks unto save.
In shivers in thou soul,
I tremble toss sorrows fold.
She pierces my belly full,
en route gorged like a bull.
I run enraged in blades,
daggers grip cumber forth shades,
colossal gangplank damask,
hereunder, I bleed bask.
In a raging stampede,
in which I choose the Almighty,
to lead the charge double-crossed,
gloze in thou path to stomp.
