Poem of the Day: Destruction by Charles Baudelaire At my side the Demon writhes forever, Swimming around me like impalpable air; As I breathe, he burns my lungs like fever And fills me with an eternal guilty desire. Knowing my love of Art, he snares my senses, Apearing in womans most seductive forms, And, under the sneaks plausible pretenses, Lips grow accustomed to his lewd love-charms. He leads me thus, far from the sight of God, Panting and broken with fatigue into The wilderness of Ennui, deserted and broad, And into my bewildered eyes he throws Visions of festering wounds and filthy clothes, And all Destructions bloody retinue.
