|
She slept in ecstasy |
|
In hands that fanned her wildest fantasies |
|
Freed from |
|
Christ's frigid regime |
|
And rigid nails |
|
She was first in church |
|
To lick her lips and self-debased |
|
Each waking second felt like heaven |
|
In the scarlet one's embrace |
|
And at last, clear memories, aghast |
|
Relinquished their control |
|
All things held dear to the wretched past |
|
Coalesced within her soul |
|
Madness crept into her sight |
|
Though her sinful hair |
|
Spoke of nothing to the contrary |
|
Once dulled eyes leaped alive with life |
|
Her piece of broken mirror |
|
Barely recognized |
|
The worm was turning |
|
For her sat grinning |
|
VictoriaWho, no three weeks ago |
|
Was flogged red to euphoria |
|
For her dour love of |
|
GodAnd the ardor of his crows |
|
Cold cloisters kept the dead apart |
|
At the retreat of the sacred heart |
|
She stepped in ecstasy' |
|
Neath skies that plied her wildest fantasies |
|
Freed into love's reacquainted dream |
|
And sudden gales |
|
Night grew sultry late |
|
SeptemberA man came from the village |
|
Through the woods to help with harvest |
|
She was burning like the fields |
|
All her vows lay unfulfilled |
|
His name was |
|
Isaac, silent, blessed |
|
A mute whose tongue impressed her lately |
|
But now red skies darken |
|
The roonks lament |
|
Windswept maelstroms harken |
|
The approach of |
|
Lilith'sNightmare kingdom |
|
The woman in her astral dreams |
|
Became more vivid, livid, obscene |
|
Scatted on the throne of oayx blasphemies |
|
Emanating raw desire |
|
And the surging urge to scream |
|
Darkness crept into her face |
|
She stood erect and spook of riches |
|
And their whereabouts |
|
Finding in |
|
Isaac the need to place |
|
A hidden Templer necklace |
|
Lest the month run out |
|
For now stormed the vainglorious |
|
In her palace of mass delight |
|
Her power dawned victorious |
|
Victoria the key, her mind unfastened |
|
By flights of morbid fancy |
|
Psychomancy, rites of ancient wrong |
|
Sweet seductions, peaked eruptions |
|
Spiking through impatient song |
|
Cold cloister kept the dead apart |
|
At the retreat of the sacred heart |
|
The gate to hell was forced apart |
|
At the retreat of the sacred heart |
