Empress

By mindtrash

Empress-
Sidelong glances cast long shadows
Jutting hip bones.the whites of your eyes
The king of dust, restless in my cadavers shell
This flesh home is a corpses down turned smile
And you, horned and pierced from glass vases
Chipped in all the right places
Vexed vixen stare, a blank fray
To cascade, a werelight glare
Serpents tongue, and your venom
My kingdom, for your demi god hall
Dust to dust, it is after all
