Panacea
Exquisite throes
You feigned forgive
Such shining sand
But sans a sieve.
While your intent
Was double-down
You kissed me deep
To watch me drown.
A phoenix flamed
Availed and cursed
Thus meant to quell
Your fiery thirst ...
But molten ire
So coolly poured
Is hell-and-gone ...
Your hellish hoard.
