|
Elizabeth christened, no paler a rose |
|
Grew so dark as this sylph |
|
None more cold in repose |
|
Yet Her beauty spun webs |
|
Round hearts a glance would betroth |
|
|
|
She feared the light |
|
So when She fell like a sinner to vice |
|
Under austere, puritanical rule |
|
She sacrificed... |
|
Mandragora like virgins to rats in the wall |
|
But after whipangels licked prisoners, thralled |
|
Never were Her dreams so maniacally cruel |
|
(And possessed of such delights) |
|
For ravens winged Her nightly flights |
|
Of erotica |
|
Half spurned from the pulpit |
|
Torments to occur |
|
Half learnt from the cabal of demons |
|
In Her |
|
Her walk went to voodoo |
|
To see Her own shadow adored |
|
At mass without flaw |
|
Though inwards She abhored |
|
Not Her coven of suitors |
|
But the stare of their Lord! |
