Hands as delicate as a porcelain doll Coated in a pungent perfume of blood, Reminiscent of the overbearing cologne That graces his person. Pigments, as vibrant as a wild peacock, Coat his clothing in a skirmish of colours, Each one more garish than the last. A false harmony. Eyes the colour of a Sweet Osmanthus That, over time, has been left in the sun, To wither along with the humanity Behind the eerie eyes that are Constantly leering at the world, Hiding under a veil of sweetness That’s as sugary as syrup, waiting Till his prey returns.

Be the flower
Hands as delicate as a porcelain doll Coated in a pungent perfume of blood, Reminiscent of the overbearing cologne That graces his person. Pigments, as vibrant as a wild peacock, Coat his clothing in a skirmish of colours, Each one more garish than the last. A false harmony. Eyes the colour of a Sweet Osmanthus That, over time, has been left in the sun, To wither along with the humanity Behind the eerie eyes that are Constantly leering at the world, Hiding under a veil of sweetness That’s as sugary as syrup, waiting Till his prey returns.
