Defilement

With the breaking of the young person's
Mystical virginity
Comes the first flush of newly born
Drug induced ecstasy,
This the old debauchee
Fain would defile.

"From mystical marriage
And sweet consummation
To the meaningless horror
Of mental pain,
To abominable deserts
Of foul desolation
Is where I am fain
To transport you."
-The voice of the elder.

"Corruption of innocence
By production of shame
That is my aim.
I am told that I am
A devil with a name.
I suspect that is true.
I seek my identity
From Greek and Jew
In books of Revelation
In scriptures and prophecies,
Legends and mythologies".
