Deeply dripping dark dreams
Engaged erotically every eve
Five fondling fingers folded;
Girded goalposts give – go greedy –
How hath human horoscopes
Intertwined, itching, ignited
Jab jocular jostle; jury & joie
Kettle keeps a knowledgeable kill
Lording lust loves liminal
Mentions. Marathon. Mark marriage –
No napier, no nihilage
Over octagonal obfuscation
Purposefully placed; purport
Queen’s quaff – questioning & quell.
Ransom rider’s rote ruling raw
Satiated. Sunshine – superseded.
The twilight – two tormenting
Undertakers use of umpteem urns
Vie – vile & vain. Virtual vigor vane –
Wise Wu wonders why wanton warrior wanders –
Xon Xavier’s Xanadu; a xenophobe
Yoke. Yearning, young, yelling – yes!
Zeus’ zone. Zen. Zebediah Zealous.
After all, at apex approaching
Be better, be born, be bonded breast!
Catch cymbal; conch & catacomb crest.
