Archaic artistry adorns Adonis,
Sculpted from feminine beauty,
Imbued with masculine mysticism,
Sensuous sensibilities abound,
Yet Wilde found androgyny wanting,
Pederasty porous albeit tangible,
Served only as curvaceous contradiction,
In his world of wondrous hypocrisy,
Pleasure came with needless nuance.
Bespectacled commentary confounded,
His Gaelic rights to overt sorrow,
Matrimony beckoned and scorned his soul,
Alas have I any less of a lust for legality than he?
Innuendo still intricately wound,
Need not be sated by mere sexual preference,
Or egotism ergot arrogance spouting truth,
Yet I doubt he’ll find his peace,
Until the mirror concedes its role.
