Medusa

You invaded my world, a form glacial,
gorgeous you appeared and perfect!
But dismal evil, forbidding 'n' bifacial
with thy figure scenic and bedecked.

Medusa head welled from shoulders;
evil dark eyes adorned thy forehead;
wolf hidden cynodonts were encoders,
of your transforming grace to embed.

Gods! I yelled while graces deplored,
of your appearance evil and badness,
a moon of stupor, unfavorably adored,
our romance; an entranced madness.

Thus you appeared in my world, wicked;
Malfunctioning in a world of evil quash,
A nightmare came in my soul to nick it;
while Demons chanted winged to bash.

Perspired I sprang out besprent sheets,
outside wraiths in air shrillness holler;
it's the wind singing frightful on sleets;
it's our loneliness of winds 'n' callers.

So slow I stare out, to a white vastness,
I recall your gleaming eyes and my ail,
tearing gusts of the wind in darkness,
Time continuity extends, pain to prevail.
