This week’s words: decuman, tessera, atone, heatomb, decussate, depredation, fillip (as a noun), pejorative, sagacious, avoirdupois, sybarite, and tacitum
Just so you all know, I am wholeheartedly unhappy with this week’s (last week’s) writing, which is why it’s taken me so long to post it. I had the front line caught in my head all week, so knew it would be centered around that, but this just does not flow the way I want it to. Of course, having to use specific words did not help me any. I just may come back to it and redo it at a later time though.
I Sleep With The Gods
I sleep with the Gods.
Fate and Luck bound to decussate.
Opportunity for my avoirdupois soul
Or penance, thus.
This is my atonement.
I sleep with the Gods;
Sybarites in their own world
With little regard to Earth beneath them.
They have become taciturn to us.
We are insignificant.
I sleep with the Gods.
Their embrace a depredation.
Ravaging my Spirit.
A hecatomb to Love.
I am bound to them all.
I sleep with the Gods.
My subjugation their fillip.
Their sagacious passion for me
Is pejorative to my heart.
They are my existence.
I sleep with the Gods.
Broken sun through the tessera.
My decuman heart stretching;
Only a moment until it breaks
Sending tendrils of sorrow throughout the Universe.
I sleep with the Gods.
I am boundless, endless.
My breath extending beyond Eternity.
I sleep with the Gods,
Therefore I am.
