maurice wilkins silly adventure

upon the floor
shadows melt the
fire, fables cling
to something dire

as dripping lace
does fuel desire
and some pneumonia
i take me then as blessed
to be let loose upon this place

where spells were cast
and people laughed on the verandah
some went mad but that didnt last
for all the wrongs to sing a song to
it up aghast the women vanished
out of sight too
shadows last
they etch the glow of carriages
as feeble marriage dies and dwindles
the shimmer of the men cast light on trees
as darkened candles

some man who slipped and got his thumb
in his women corset,to make a family all undone
while the horse slept and the maid before swept dust away
as vacant opportunity to play
an dramatic scandal
as all poets to writhe away
to wretched cells
there written jails

i take the dna from castle rooms
the fireplace
the miserly king and fathers room
that too from the daughter's library
it seems that I sliced my bravery
i split the cell in too
people who in revelry
in sadness still hate humans too

the man
experiment fifty-two
escaped the laboratory testing room
inside the house all found dead
where mary shelleys monster led

I played with fire
that man Wilkins too
did find desire the day they found the molecule
as nuclear fuel
does warm arsenic
cyanides and other tools
can once if swallowed
reconcile the man who left
with the man we loved
and become two

as all men are led to ruin
by the truth
all souls in the empyrean
are hallowed through
