Crooked Love

As sweet as honey

As deadly as poison

You’ve got me under your spell

My heart flutters

My speech stutters

You’ve got me wrapped around your finger

Smoke twirls, ashes dance

I am cloaked in your scent

I am riding on a Raven

           Your affection

Like honey on sand

Like fire in ice

                   A rapture

I’ve never felt

Soothes the rupture of my soul

Lights a spark in the abyss

          Of my heart

Soaked in your nectar

Bathed in your fieriness

Your dew and mine

Your rhythm and mine

                    climb

 To stardust

                     and

                            galaxies

                     and

               I

   don’t

want to fall

back down

Back to the shadow and gloom

Where Titans roam

and I

For I went astray

Tumbled

              down

                        the path

              of Destruction

Casting

             myself

                         into

                                 unfathomed

                                                        Tartarus

           But you

Your love an ambrosia

Your fire a sultry summer

Your presence, your existence

                        an elixir

                          a drug

that levigates my sanctuary

of Violence and Destruction to loess

A harbinger of chaos

Hypnotized by your ardor

Nurtured by your amor

I want

I yearn

I desire

             to

                 capture

                  abduct

                        lock

                                you

                                        away

for all I can reciprocate

          all I can bestow

             all I can lavish

        is

                    My

               Crooked

                   Love
