Destiny Unkind
JKWeb

blood washed upon the shore
 1
of every man’s quest for undying love.
 2
the shallows of hell
 3
bridled the mass extermination
 4
of young hearts broken in half
 5
 
 
sordid bones stacked in mounds
 6
of shrilling skulls, they perished
 7
in pursuit of bliss.  Lest we not forget
 8
tears shed; crying icicles
 9
before the cold and hostile =femme fatale=
 10
 
 
"she’s beautiful" states the obvious-
 11
she consumes those without spine
 12
tortured souls with empty beds
 13
fools with dreams of polygamy
 14
voracious is her hunger: [bon appetit]
 15
 
 
this nagging fear, many men’s dread
 16
to sit across from an empty chair
 17
wine glass untouched, uneaten cuisine
 18
no mourning widow, just a sole grave
 19
lonely in life, alone in death, amen
