Sonnet XXI - Gore

He ran his fingers on her supple breasts
And singing softly, gently stroked her hair
While submissive she lay, curled in her dress
Which splattered red and melted with her flair

He slowly unbuttoned her, took her cloak
And turned around to light the dying flame

But ere he could, he felt a strangling choke
Dismembered, saw her naked gleeful frame.

A stream of blood ran down his broken nose
And bloodshot eyes burst out of gaping holes
His punctured lungs spewed moistened reddish prose
As he begged mercy, holding quivering bowles

She nailed it on the cross, his lifeless form,
And walked out smiling midst the raging storm
