Entice
Poem from Divine Madness
I slumber deep within life’s storm
love’s agony becomes the norm
time’s tentacles ravish within
these bitter tales of pain transform
No longer running from the sin
that bellows underneath my skin
my pillar seeks a sacrifice
to bait the flood I hold within
Delicious is my plight’s device
to flay the heart and melt love’s ice
as time releases its last breath
you’ll taste the bane that you entice.

Entice is an Interlocking Rubaiyat poem. I think this is the only poem from this form I’ve written so far. I’m going to have to write some more of these. I love the flow. Entice is a poem from my forthcoming poetry book, Divine Madness: A Dark Poetry Collection.
