Fallen in Autumn

Sultry Mrs. Vixen;

My lustrous Vampiress Princess.

Lost sight of the lie,

Then exiled from

Your Eden heart.

Thine Oedipus eyes

Seduced the Exodus plight.

Never denying,

Providing the bottom line

Above your eyes.

No tears for my Icarus cries.

Magik and the Divine.

Your grace

Has summoned my mind

With your taste.

A drip of blood is all

That remained on your fangs.

Your pendulum waist

Unwinds my mental waste.

Desires and our fire contained

Within the rock portal;

Speaking with only cups and a string

-Aeneas and Dido

Unmortals

Unhonest

Untestimonious

My hell swells, swells, and swells;

Dwelling in your fornever

Ending wishing well

I upheld with dying stars.

Touch me too!

Ahhh....those autumn (or fall) stumbles....do they quite compare to the ones in summer?

Delightful read, as always.

The upside is, as one star dies, it's black hole is beginning of a new one, right? (I am a poet, if I say so, it is true....lol)

Summer can be quite cold.

Some very cleverly woven words, I love the theatre and use of 'old language' it embeds sweetly here.
There's real rhythm in this piece, that makes it a rather seductive read ;)

"Your pendulum waist
Unwinds my metal waste" I really dig this

I enjoyed the poetry.
"Unmortals
Unhonest

My hell swells, swells, and swells
Dwelling in your fornever
Ending wishing well"
The above lines. Strong and amazing. I enjoyed the complete tale. A tempting and dangerous ride in your words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You are welcome my friend.

Some extremely interesting word choices. You invoke powerful, yet mainly known stories. Unmortal.... Stands out. Fornever a stunning turn of phrase.

[sinNsincerity]

oh yes, thank you! I've been gaining 'lots of knowledge, so it would be a shame not to put it to good use. I haven't had much time to write lately because of my studies, so it was a blessing that I encounter the words last night. It did not let me sleep.
Thank you for spending the time to read, I'm more than glad you'd enjoyed it!

Ahhh ... Nice ... A quick turn to the left for you and I like it ... You hold the same pace and rhythm as your other works ... Something which I have always enjoyed from you ... A mix of old and new and you you you and it works ... I especially like the last line ... I like to be touched too ;-)

Well done my friend ... A nice change a very well delivered X

[sinNsincerity]

I'm glad you did like it for I have been enjoying the left for quite some time- just expressing it now.
still seeking a way to let it completely loose, while still being elegant.
No hands ;)
