Title:
Meum
Imperium
me
Ita fiat illud
Be (L)
(A soft seductive voice, whispers)
In this
The darkest hour
In the Great Pit
Where I wield
Total power
Sitting beside
IT
Read this
In this very moment
Silently and patiently
For your soul
To be deliriously deflowered
Meum
Imperium me
Ita fiat illud
Be (L)
By me
The Un-Hallowed Queen
Of all sinful slaves
Just lurking
Tonight
Like a funnel-web spider
Waiting to bite
From the Great In-Between
When The Black Gates open
And I am allowed
In
Meum
Imperium me
Ita fiat illud
Be (L)

Latin translation since I know you read the open invitation:
Own me
Control me
So mote it
Be

Like all things, duality exists in poetry.
Duality introduces us to things having two parts, sometimes with fundamentally different meanings.
Similar to peace and war, love and hate.
Good and evil. And so on.
And as poetic and romantic as poetry can be, it too can have two sides to a metaphorical
coin.
Light poetry and dark poetry.
While exploring themes linked to the darker aspects of the human experience.
From the macabre, personal suffering, death, and other dark themes.
A few renowned poets still resonates today.
If one seeks to deep dive into the mysteries of the human condition.
You may wish to enter their realms and visions.
I've just listed a few below for the inquisitive.
Salute.
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)
Sylvia Plath (1932-1963)
Anne Sexton (1928-1974)
Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891)
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
