Conquest of Scorn

I yielded to none
For none was worth my strife
Sway, I did, I even guffawed
Orific...
Remembrance brings forth laughter
Sadness
Yes, anger!
But I swayed in my emptiness
Causeless voices of rapturous timpani
Barren vessel of a tumescent tomorrow!
I, I, I,
Scorned... Cast... Defiled...
Earthen urn
Ode? nay!
Fie ont'
Tis but a unweeded garden
Priyam's anger possess it merely
Was it anger? Wrath?
Or, petrification spawn of sadness
She said she couldn't bear
Were it true, I would surely s(w)ing
Drown in flights of Grey Goose
Aye!
I died a thousand deaths
Cruelly, in the "Point of Centre"
Sipping Napoleon 's Corsican Brew
Emanating glue of a triumphant Hussar
