SILKS AND FURS

concubines wrapped in silks and furs
lounging amidst the future ruins
of broken temples long since lost
to the never ceasing wind that fumes
wearing down my former selves
former prisoners locked within a cave
inside is steel with ancient shelves
and on each shelf stored thoughts as slaves
i loved them long i loved them hard
creatures mine to play within
my self’s creations in broken shards
my harem’s walls cloaked in sin
concubines wrapped in silks and furs
lounging amidst the future ruins
