"Been extolled by the cynicals

​​​​​​stolen with the soul -

at the edge of precipice

clamouring why the praise is sour"

"floats over the praise on

a sequin lake

yet her heart & soul drowned"

"achillies heel her deluded mind

atoning for being so kind

as she molded by the angels soul

devoured in the devils knoll "
