The conjugate of idolatry, <br />The alchemy of flame, <br />The Astarte of pure harlotry- <br />And nomenclature'd name. <br /> <br />The lode-stone of sly coquetry, <br />The compass-stone of hearth, <br />The balanced stoichiometry- <br />Broken waters of birth. <br /> <br />The Vestal of impurity, <br />The perfidy of shame- <br />My blood in you runs truer red; <br />This craving never tames.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-craving-never-tames/
