Quatrain of Gothic Love - 1083

Quatrain of Gothic Love

Gothic - a Middle Age theme -
barbarous - style in Architecture - Goths

1.
O, thy grotesque realism
with the mythic of the
Gothic world in
tow,

I beseech you my dear,
as if my love had
nowhere to willingly
go.

From contemporary fiction,
to truth that can be
told and not
overthrown,

I long to share with you.
love's unassailable gifts
that no one can
dethrone.

2.
With violent scripts of
carnal attempts crudely
thrust to make you
whole

I do not waver in my
feelings for you. and I
pray you will take my
soul.

With lips vaulted to painted
heights, rapture beyond
my wildest
dreams,

I find that your Gothic look.
pelts my heart with overt
urges of erotic
screams.
