Nemesis

Nemesis

Snaking around her breast
Ebony chains bend and cry
Snaking around her breast
A fading heart…fails
Snaking around her breast
Dripping from her lips
Elixir…sanguine

Around the weary walls
Their shadows beckoned in  
Around the weary walls
Life is driven from their stems
Squeezing
Emerald fades to an ebony smile
Waning
Crimson fades to an ebony smile
Fraying
Immortal’s reeling

Jet
As a moonless thought
Jet
In their eyes
Jet
As a lie

The immortals, abandoned
Hands are tied in twine
Heads decked with silver
Mouths gagged with garnish
Temples burned to cinders


All roads leads to Athens
Here and here after,  
All the roads lead to Styx
