Shivering, reviling
Fading horrid nightmares,
Shoot straight upright, smiling.
Lust, love, and dear despair
Rendered naked and bare,
Lurk beneath Winter's ice-
Trapped in nearest nowhere.
Just a roll of the dice
From wine and sacrifice,
A grand soliloquy-
Apologies, paradise.
Purest ventriloquy.
Heat within burns again,
Pricks like pins, tastes like sin.
