Stop these
 1
induced mysteries
 2
bewildering, while your harlot mind
 3
unfolds in my palm, your eyes
 4
sickened to the marrow
 5
deceive, body cold as flesh lay grim
 6
on the landscape of your victorian floor,
 7
ring that meaninglessly shine
 8
dissents your intrepid finger
 9
and kisses held useful on the dressing table;
 10
dust-covered moth-eaten.
 11
 
 
Unmask the dominoes
 12
and finish all your lies
 13
calligraphed
 14
by your charcoal tongue the river of Camelot awaits
 15
to see you grow beautiful someday in reflections
 16
and thereby
 17
i shall paint you in verses
 18
in the portrait of the lady of shallot.

THanks unknown.

very energetic. that is a strength beyond measure, i think. also useful usage of the line break.

like line eleven as well.
 — listen

now that i think about it, clever format. perfect structure for your words and the content.
 — listen
