Sonnet I

The nights of old darkened
The skies of yorn are dim
And the darkness harkened
A foulness of wretched kin

With eyes of widened breadth
And lips that no man sees
A mind that schemes death
And brings all men to their knees

It is but a muscle in reality
But the emotions it creates are sin
It is deceitful above all anonimity
It is the heart within

Deep, dark conniving
Quick, slick contriving
