Baudelaire in the Underworld

 


The sensual, but sans the usual fluff,

may flow in love made to slow

the dash of time to what is bound 

to abide, bidding adieu to everything 


that wouldn't stand what beauty brings

from within one's till now sleepig heart,

suddenly filled like a flower, crowning grass,

in the glory of becoming a new living light.


The sand of moribund and fevered senses,

dusting off once majestic and regal mountains

bruised by cutting storms and countless winds,

builds in vain its way too early shapless castles


by the shores of ancient seas which can never mind

the horrid, screechy howling of the forlorn soul

which its merchants exchanged for a hollow image

on the caving wall that grinds her eye to grime and smut.
