Intoxication

Blood on my lips, sweet vengeance

My cup runneth o’er

Pour me your tankards

Of crimson to pacify.

The thirst will remain.

Smite me if you wish, goddess

Hurl plague and dejection

A Nile of ale will still your wrath

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.

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!

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.
