Magpie Madness

Madness loom'd overhead

   like an over eager magpie

      circling  pleasure's pain,

 breathing in the poison headiness

     of feather-less flights 

         in indiscretion's consumption,

 closing in to pluck the decay,

  under skin's frustrated blight

    carrion of a ravag'd heart it did consume 

            suck'd the afflicted remains

                  of vulturous destruction

  pecking blind eyes in testimony

                of  dispirited manifestations
