I Desire

Woe, woe what shall I make of this

Parched land, infecund lamb, a season amiss

This transient love, a momentary respite

The maniacal and obscure scatter of twilight

I’m no longer a friend to love and to life

My covenant is bonded to the shadows of my might

I fight against the blight, a sickness of the mind, of the mind and of the sight

I want what is not and what is not exists in me

My deliverance of self, an unceasing soliloquy

I have gone against my nature, that which is unknown

The sustenance that comes from the marrow of cleft bone

Defile my body and gather crust and supple skin

I long for days that bare my soul open to sin
