Imperfect Circle

Had it all come half circle once more to the bowels of Ar? It would stand to reason. Where else could you hide a stolen slave so brazenly in public and think to get away with it?
I knew it by its smell alone and with the sordid fragrances of urine, urt feces, spilled paga and the tang of cum was an odd sense that I'd come home.
The card the freewoman of many colors had long since been lost but as the guard herded me along the busy streets I looked for her. I remember the feel of the image that had been painted on the small announcement, the one of the laughing corpse. I could still feel the texture beneath my thumb.
From beneath the dark hood of the cloak I'd been allowed to wear I watched a face now and then. It wasn't so much expectancy to see the actress or the beautiful faced boy I had met outside the insula. It was simply seeking familiarity. My impassiveness otherwise kept my keeper's hand latched to my forearm. The not so gentle jerks to keep me closer to his side allowed a glimpse of the ivory flesh and the contrast of the golden sirik of my ankle to be seen. His growl was for his own benefit. I did not care.
What happens in the Anbar District stays in the Anbar District.

Withered

Time was not a thing one could keep up with the recesses of the dungeons. The uncontrastable blackness gave no hint of the rise and fall of la torvis. How many moons had passed over the night sky was an unknown but the girl knew it had been quite a long while.
A brief respite came as the guards led her along the path to the waterfalls.Evidence of the length of her stay within the bowels of the slave house was in the warmth of the day's kiss along her cheeks. Seasons had passed and now it was almost time for the harvest. The sound of the streaming water was like thunder to the delicate ears and eyes unaccustomed to light had to be shielded. Each step set the chains of the sirik to slither along her skin. Modesty was provided only with a dark cape to protect the pale skin.
It seemed the instant of her unveiling brought interest. For a woman who was not a whore to her emotions, there was a flicker of anxiousness that the dismal darkness was to be banished. It seemed the torture of her fate was to travel from one emptiness into the brief delight of hope then be plunged into a new netherworld. Lights faded within the vivid mingling of blue and emerald in her eyes.

Forgiveness of Sins

Blessed were the feasts that I been allowed over the past few hands. My keeper's charity had become more tangible as I began to fill out once more. Effects of the hormones I'd been given by my previous Master had finally worn off. My breasts were no longer engorged, dripping with milk. Tor had found great pleasure in the nourishment that his herbs had produced from the tips of my nipples. Another would bear his heirs but she would not share his chamber. Instead he had relished the iniquitous feel of my body created to be ripe as if it had just born a child. Faded now was the sacrilegious vision of the virgin mother. The new rations filled in the concave of my belly and the hollows of my cheeks.
The chains had been removed so that I could exercise my limbs. The cramped quarters gave little room for much but still I danced. Graceful, sweeping, fluid.The dance of the Arian Harvest. I danced to a tune that could be heard only in my head. I danced as the sacrificial verr.

Virtues and Vices

Juices still clung to the sides of the vessel when I'd had all that my body could stand. I slid the bowl between the bars and down as far as I could against the outside wall of my cell. I could see the reflection in its stained surface of the grimy fingers straining to catch purchase of the rim. Then sat back with my head pressed tight against the wall. The scrapping of metal against stone told me that it had been won. The smile did not fade even as the sounds of wretching filled the dungeon corridor. It was good to share.

Within the shadow

The metal bowl that slid across the stone floor didn't hold the usual cuisine of gruel and dried crust of bread, both teeming with the movement of small white vermin. My nostrils flared finding the new aroma an assault. Meat. Meat and suls. I stared at it for a long before I gathered it in the crook of my arm possessively. I ate quickly before my keepers changed their mind or could finish their cruel joke.
My stomach protested vehemently the new faire. I choked on the bile that rose with the food then swallowed both.

so frail - so cruel

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had an angel
tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had an angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had an angel tonight
I`m going down so frail and cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had an angelYour Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had an angel tonight
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the nightHypocriteWannabe friend13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch, my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had an angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had an angel
tonight
I wish I had an angel
