Written by Karisshma Kaur
Wasted youth
An ambrosial nectar
Wild and uncouth
Tangled hair
Dampened forms
The summer’s air
Weaved into
Silken sheets
My wasted youth
Barren azimuth
Your celestial lips
Lustered embraces
I’m floatin’ in Styx
The pyrrhic victory
Of social cruelty
Squandered virility
A tiresome tirade
Abound the path
Like fuckin’ hounds
Oh, the ashen grounds!
Wasted youth
Wild and uncouth
His crimson boots
My liquored noose
Oh, how they loved
The marred flowers
And dizzied showers
Of a wasted youth
So wild and uncouth
