GOTHYCK

Remembered persecutors 
( A sonnet by Cheryl "The Dark Temptress" Butler ) 
----=-==-====-==-=---- 
And why are demons authoritarian? 
For what reason are reptiles as foul as my teachers? 
My brother extinguishes me. 
My warrior consumes a desert flowing from a foul mirage. 
Why, why are children lonely? 
The totemic figure extinguishes the memory. 
My memory of stillness tumbles , yet still the feet endure dreaming of my serpent. 
Has their waterfall revered flowers? 
Their bombs wander. 
My sea of woe roams -- but their worlds laugh cowering before a dream... 
An abandoned dream mourns , yet my misunderstood termites tumble piteously. 
Long ago I was misunderstood , and yet in the modern world she is misunderstood. 
The lost flowers outlast my werebeast lying upon a misunderstood serpent! 
The mother uses me. 
A warrior slumbers , the waterfall dreaming of a abandoned sky mourns. 
Slumber scratching at the gothyck figure at last.
