Death, Death, Death! The secret acts So rightfully ensnared, Intoxicating Her features invigorating And to become once again driven near, Seduced The destruction of my reign o’er her, No longer am I one But two, Eyes piercing the soul For just a moment Her name I suppose does not matter But it was I who chose she, and she who chose me Caught at moon’s glance Her glimpse a slivering arrow, whetted Piercing the vulgar sighs Of onlookers Who would if they could speak verse instead of curse To sway her tempered delicacy, But none such as I Came ever so close to the rose She bore between her thighs For the parting of skirts Came as an ecstasy of highs That the cabernet could only flush, Dancing as my minuet played When her eyes became everything… I saw in them as I never have in another, The visage of beauty Power Devildom And passion For if I look away I fear that I will never peer into the face of paradise again… To me she was Nina, the swansong The blood upon the snow Mephistophelian scarlet, Forever a fragment of perfection, Her skin blushes Bruising a silent whimper Of pale statues staring on Over misty gardens, Within this Eden is power Dominance and submission A soulless nether Where her flesh could never part From the serpents of Eve In this I plead A witness to such bondage Branded incarnate Carving out my eyes to -stand before you in apostasy- -Withdrawn from illumination- -Impassioned- -I shroud the eternal sun- -The façade and illusion- -Deeper than the burial- For once I had wished to Venus In an age of plague, Severance Like waves upon distant clandestine shores Clashing and fading But never-ending
