oh! that i could believe in my own brain

and trust it was not turn’d upon itself

in constant allegorical refrain

entangling my thoughts within themselves.

they say

your heart

is as big as

your fist

but mine is

bigger on the inside…

She lures him with brilliant smile,

Which rots beneath the fish bones

And skulls of lovers past –

Seductress hidden in her pearly raiment.

Majestic heart and tragic past,

Eternal damnation for her work,

Enslaved by Fate, rejected by Heaven –

Doomed, chained to Neptune’s side…
