overall pleasing in its malefic intent.

my opinions, if you will permit me to suggest a few tweaks:

spiral implies 'around', so,
'Twist a whimsied spiral down' would suffice.

also, 'The hanging of a garden abounding with allure'
is a clumsy phrase. make it leaner.

[alluring and abundant, a hanging garden...or something]

'watch we' --tricksy inversion prickles me.

'It itself did engage'--again, a little awkward

'gametic knife'--the heart of the poem, succintly captured. bravo.

good work.

syntax can be important, you know.
amusing rhymes. but no vote.
you have something nice going here, but i think you need to decide whether you are addressing the audience directly, or speaking to us only in asides. If you're talking to us, lose the parentheticals, i say.

"Lo, had the blankest of cold stares"

huh?

lo--how are you using this?
it generally means 'look at that' or 'over there, look!'

also, use a comma or a colon instead of ellipsis, and fix the apostrophe: Ireland's

if only you *would* go kamikaze, the vast majority would get some relief from these inane ramblings.
