Pythia | Erotica



I'm in awe of Pythia— an angry storm of raging fury.

At night, she smokes roll-ups floating on the crest of a glass horizon; a sweet mist rises from her cigarette— it is the mist of her early sunrise.

One by one, I lift her seven veils to find all my miscreant peccadilloes dwelling inside her tarnished mind. Pythia is now mine, mine all mine. Insanity grips us both and for such delinquent acts, those who guard her struggling purity, have cast us

beyond the walls and city gates.

In a smoked-filled salty cave, I lay crimson flowers on her breasts; the decrepit judge is incandescent— for many years he has thirsted for her

night of honour.

A surging hunger for this child of

untethered frenzy scorches me. We are both made of clay and sin— two misfits sheltering in the same bell jar.

She yields to me in the swan song of her white morning and I feast for

days in the squalid darkness of her mind plundering her chaos of youth. My Pythia, a priestess of unsated lusts

succumbs to all my unhampered heresies

and all the oaths of her dwindling modesty

hide in her blue and white lace.
