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.
