unremitting

a poetic gargoyle

   carefully chiseled
     with a mournful mallet  
situated menacingly atop
    the edifice
       your principle…
warding off weighty desire

an idiom scarecrow

   demoralizingly draped
      in frayed finery
positioned manifestly upholding
    the stance
        your ethic…
frightening off impetuous fervor

an odic chant

    submissively set
       in dorian mode 
crooned continually aloud
     the libretto
        your proscription…
soothing and calming passions

and me

unremitting
