Paramour...!

Aye! Cascade of transient bliss

Ephemeral jewel; same you treasure

Ointment of solace – succour your fracture

Love cum hatred my nature

The alluring rose; your hibiscus

Haven I am – antidote I your stress

The covert spring you unearthed I am

When for pleasure thirst – you strayed

With all nature did bestowed

Regale I your soul

Tart – calls me

The hag you roof beneath – your connubial hag

My presence; my prestige

Misery aye her nightmare

Her nuptial dreams; bargained away

Aye she’ll never pardon – I need not

Dwindling beauty, faded pride; did paved

Fervidly paved me in – to her hollow

To defile – to gorge her nuptial abode

Aye I need no pardon; she’ll not – never!

Beauty, no! Not seduction

Fetched you me – your cloying vows; my nature

Opened my legs; the moon forget not

Stars bear my witness when to you I gave… from me,

Took what she divest you

When hungered; your repast I was; drank–

My spring quenched your thirst – my lothario

You became; did you not say I’m better?

Heavens be thanked, now

Your likeness I host

She’ll never pardon – I need not

I need no pardon; she’ll not – never!
