He hath shaken me

His teeth are smart
strung into his brain
in a pearly line
but of his two front
one is black
rooted into the lobe
where love originates
Women swoon to him
to listen to his words
in darkened halls
where shadows fall

His tongue is twofold
without a shape
for no motive
not a print
no trace of a wind
could scatter ash
so well

His eyes --
ureceptive mirrors
spoons holding tiny truths
premeds
cherry flavored innocence
candy coated corpses
mouths sown shut to feed

He is translucent ebon
starry sky
where constellations
of runic tile
would paint his depth
at ease

He is evil pure and thick
his solidity tho’ shaken
by altitude

I have given wing to thought
and he hath captured me

This sounds like a basilisk except for the flying part. I like the last line.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
