An ode to Nifilhema by Othero
Merit for December 2006
LoNg have I waited for the whips on my back
Cold kIsses on my lips
Under the Flower amaranth
In a Spiked MaIden I wait
For your frozen, coLd hands I wait
To pull me out and Hold me like your lost king of old
A vile pair we would makE
As you use my skin as your Makeshift canvas
And string me to the bloodied Amaranth
