The Sin of Delight

The Sin of Delight

A Poem by theking
"

the fear of the wild drunken carousal

"
Courtesans, reveling in me
rejuvenating me
With cold hands
Twisting my soul
And tearing my morality.
Hiding underneath
their Bauta masks
ravishing carousal
so merry in time

so, kind of a non-haiku adaptation of my carnival poem, this one addresses the same theme. Thanks for reading :)

The dark feel is there, which I think is what you were going for. Very cryptic, and I love cryptic stuff. I like the extended metaphor of carnivals and the realm of sin. Kudos, brother.

Very lovely, deep, metaphorical piece. I reread it 3 or 4 times to try to grasp the concept but it can be taken in many ways and I like that about it. Good job.
