RUIN

Walking unexplored temple fallen

find beautiful man body stone etched

greek mural shards of bliss bourn memories

no man can now remember.

 

Man was alive years before & bathing

with men who scrubbed & loved & kissed

& suckled him.

 

Man died blissful overdosed on man nectar

dripping down his chiseled body from multiple

man fountains of ebony, ivory, ruby, & dandelion.

 

Man surely smiled at lovely defilement

etched into his body forever to come.

 

But that smile escaped with his death

& his slumber -

 

For when the earth quaked -

When passion lay dead...

 

These walls were blood caked -

& man lost his head.
