Knights of progress 'alter boy shamed' (Free verse) by Bachus
The softened situation seeks some solidity <Become-soon>
They came to enjoy the many fragrances <Flung-blossoms>
The smells permeating from the surface <pale-smooth>
of an altar <Slate-dark>
When his role was the Necromancer <Warlock-spent>
He alone read the ancient scrolls <Grimoire-stained>
The truth is cloaked within the words <Druel-factor>
of madmen <Scape-goats>
Scribed down by scholars <Under-paid>
In the hopes of vanquishing sadness <Pharmacopia-jew>
But knowledge can be carried within madness <Bible-belt>
Insanity, the mark of the soaked sponge <An endengared-species>
Finally finding sanctuary between the genders <Bi-vocal>
He collapses than re-settles <Sediment-heavied>
Waiting patiently for what his ritual renders <Inorganic-beinged>
True magicians are more then just reality benders <Slight-of-head>
or curse senders <Rabbit-collectors>
More like truth folders <Hot-potatoe>
Evolution's knights of Heaven's duality <Curiosity killed the angel>
An uncommon jubilee <Yinned-and-Yanged>
Beguiled merely by his own undertakings <Basilisk-gazings>
Staggered by the routines of my many brothers <Abel-hugged>
Dog-pant-tired he burns offerings <Petulie-oiled>
Offerings to anything that's noticing <Devotion-finger>
His feeble attempts to find sanctuary <Hide-or-evaporate>
Never a guest <Jettison-mailed>
Feeding on anything <Parasite-smirk>
Everything swings back <Pond-rope-release>
Hemp cloth <Mead & Aled>
Earthenware sack <component -pinch>
Hidden and screaming <Id-please-sir>
Egos in the jagged crevice <The pit and the pendelum>
So there he is awaiting her touch <Horny>][<Again>
He's thinking about her, but she thinks him too much <big-headed>
He's come to that conclusion <Barely-legal>
From the basis of a hunch <Seven-roll>
The story still reeks of splendor <Memorizing-Mary>
When the clock ticks quietly <Unaware hand twitching>
Under a blanket of humor <Sentenced-tomorrow>
Where is that malignant tumor ? <Downstairs and to the left>
Next to my heart <Femoraly-aeortaed>
This grape-vining amongst the railroad tracks <Chicago L ride>
A well-shadowed morning <Ferrel><snap, crackle, pop>
The snowman saves the day <Goodbye...Frosty>
