Sarcastic Adoration

Sarcastic Adoration

 

In mock bravado talk

And play in endless games

Coy and evil to draw forth

Passion of entwined words

 

Spells of ideology woven

Lexicons of past forgotten origin

Long since lost to ear and heard

Spoken soft and written hard

 

Half filled well of blood

Quills dipped and tinted

To scratch the sentiments

Of the unforgiving love

 

Parchment crumpled; reservoir

Thrown and shattered

Watch it spatter into patterns

Nothing can be made of

 

Simple runs and drips

Broken tips, fray the feathers

On unwritten letters that

Never really mattered much
