One

A wailing phaerytale of benighted pain from profound abyssic dreams
And from a dark, mysterious, equivocative morrow... I now take heed
I drown in the verses these pages encompass - enthralled to quicken time
But Envy she stirs 'midst sweet slumbering purrs; poised unto lesser rhymes

A decaying memory slowly fades
As I realise what game thou doth play

Through the candlelight this scripture's blight summons a mortal in spite
My enchantress falls foul unto a deeper drowse
Wherein wakening garners a serpent's bit

Choking the liars in thickets of briers
Aflame, smouldering upon the stake
Conducting the fear I have wrought in the victim's pride
I reminisce a romance not lived long
As I gaze at him in her eyes as she dies

I am the one not overcome by sorrow or fear
Bawl unto me now my Lord? my saviour and my soul

Encapsulate me in thy darkest reprieve
Soften the Earth when I fall down from thee
When we retire the darkness expires
Baneful white light shone from three burning pyres
We gaze at the stars, so vast from afar
Under which love-spells were cast and are charred
So surely not I shall worship thee tonight?
And thirst for raptured ensnared passions of thine
Drinking the wine, dark magicks entwine

"Thou who dares to awaken me
What is thy bidding
What draws me from sleep?"

It is I, your majesty
Humble requests I bequeath unto thee
Grant me a sanctified dream
A gift from thee to me
I shalt ever seethe

See their warming raptures which they forsake
Aflame, smouldering upon the stake
The dream-weaver's twisted morbid end which I have designed
I reminisce a romance not lived long
As I gaze at him in her eyes as she dies

I am the one not overcome by sorrow or fear
Bawl unto me now my Lord? my saviour and my soul

Encapsulate me in thy darkest reprieve
Soften the Earth when I fall down from thee
When we retire the darkness expires
Baneful white light shone from three burning pyres

We gaze at the stars, so vast from afar
Under which love-spells were consecrated and cast
Drinking our swill of the wine
Dark, mysterious poisonous nectar maligned
Dark magicks entwine
