Listen, do you hear them whisper and speak? Foul minded heirs and hearts of purest black – I fear only of my sins will they preach – When they cry, “Lord!” it is me they push back. Afright, this demon-child stalks ‘bout the night: Her lips bleed lies and her eyes do bewitch, She will waylay your soul with deadly rites. Corruption and tricks make the devil – rich. Hatred and pain have her trapped in the mir'r – I am a nightmare dressed as a daydream – Where, teary-eyed, we stare at each other I sew up the cracks with tightly held seams Please, if you would accept me presently, I need someone to hold me tenderly.

A Sonnet: Voices
Listen, do you hear them whisper and speak? Foul minded heirs and hearts of purest black – I fear only of my sins will they preach – When they cry, “Lord!” it is me they push back. Afright, this demon-child stalks ‘bout the night: Her lips bleed lies and her eyes do bewitch, She will waylay your soul with deadly rites. Corruption and tricks make the devil – rich. Hatred and pain have her trapped in the mir'r – I am a nightmare dressed as a daydream – Where, teary-eyed, we stare at each other I sew up the cracks with tightly held seams Please, if you would accept me presently, I need someone to hold me tenderly.
