Intoxication

Blood on my lips, sweet vengeance

My cup runneth o’er

Pour me your tankards

Of crimson to pacify.

The thirst will remain.

Oh nicely done! I love that you imply her rage will always be there🖤

Smite me if you wish, goddess

Hurl plague and dejection

A Nile of ale will still your wrath

Love the middle line particularly, bringing the physical and spiritual together is a cool touch🖤

Dog days of August, Nile over flows;

Orange lion Sekhmet seeks revenge,

No Bastet pussy cat.

Dog Star rises. Torturous heat consumes.

Crocodile tears shed, mud-lie as dead asleep.

Your post: Drake? You mean "drunk"? Sorry, it threw me off.

Breaking the fourth ‘gloom here, by referring to yesterday’s prompt as well.

Nice try, Sekmet, Ra

Keep your bloody effing beer.

Belle Gunness? Still no!

“The fourth ‘gloom” 🥹 I love it🖤

I have definitely not got any… safe women to have a beer with this month😅

Sekhmet, fierce lioness,

Desert sands whisper her name,

Sun’s wrath in her eyes.

Blood-red horizon,

Her roar echoes through the night,

Ancient power wakes.

Goddess of the flame,

Heat of battle in her veins,

Destiny's sharp claws.

I’m so jealous of your ability to create so much atmosphere in so little space 🖤

I’ve been scribbling for decades. LOL
