Lights Out

Post by audiofool » Sat Jul 08, 2017 5:05 am

Sex is easy
love is hard
the best for less
her calling card

shadow mother
draped in black
the lost and low
come crawling back

annihilation
on velvet lips
morphine flows
from her fingertips

hollow her heart
and burning eyes
lust for vengeance
word to the wise

don't let her catch you
unawares
she adds misery
to your list of cares

I thought it was
a frivolous thing
a wink and a nod
a feverish fling

locked behind
her iron bars
gray walls entomb
both moon and stars

extinguishing
the dying light
downcast days
interminable night

sex is easy
love's a beast
pleasures aplenty
in the Faustian feast.

I'm not catching some of the nuances and references first time through. Will come back when mind is clearer.
