SWEET TYRANNY
<p>Sweet Tyranny</p><p><br/></p><p>Raise thine swords.</p><p>Break free, break loose,</p><p>From thine captor's cold embrace.</p><p>A stake in thine heart, ye break.</p><p><br/></p><p>Drowning in the abyss of thy drought,</p><p>A yearning plea unto thine ears, till mine voice</p><p>Giveth up its sound, and the heart yearneth in place.</p><p>Thou woe me with thy sword, unto my side,</p><p>For I am to perish. But I perish not.</p><p><br/></p><p>Oh, beautiful serpentine, thy teeth, they pierce me.</p><p>Am I befitting for thine teeth?</p><p>Am I befitting for thy woe?</p><p>Thou woundest me, I clash with thy woeful embrace,</p><p>I crash, thy side a throbbing hearth of flames.</p><p><br/></p><p>Thy bars, thou didst hold me in.</p><p>Am I befitting for thine hold?</p><p>Am I? Thou woeful thing!</p><p>Thine spiteful deeds spill and roll;</p><p>Thou forcest me to bitter mine mouth</p><p>For thine own pleasure.</p><p>Woe, woeful, what thou hast made me become.</p><p><br/></p><p>Thy pleasure is woe.</p><p>Thy pleasure is teeth.</p><p>Thy pleasure is tongue.</p><p>Thy pleasure is eyes.</p><p>Thy pleasure is ears.</p><p>Thy pleasure is feeling.</p><p><br/></p><p>Better art thou in thy woe.</p><p>Better art thou.</p><p>Thou rulest love.</p><p>Thou rulest lust.</p><p>Thou art both what men, what we, desire and cradle.</p><p><br/></p><p>Oh, sweet tyranny.</p>
