Shadowkin
All my faces are shining in the shadows
My skin is inked with ancient scripts
My name is ambiguous, unknown
I've split myself among my thoughts
The night has lost me again
I tremble at the thought
Of being left in this place
I am the secret of the gloam
It hides me in obscurity
With all my dark little dreams
Kiss my hand and I will resurrect
Just long enough to see you cry
And tell me who I am
My skin is inked with ancient scripts
My name is ambiguous, unknown
I've split myself among my thoughts
The night has lost me again
I tremble at the thought
Of being left in this place
I am the secret of the gloam
It hides me in obscurity
With all my dark little dreams
Kiss my hand and I will resurrect
Just long enough to see you cry
And tell me who I am

Silence Is Silver
Give it up
Your beauty is speechless
Your eyes are endless
You have nothing to say,
And I love your silence
It's silver
Because gold looks too dirty
For a creature like you
You're afraid of the roar
The world makes
But I'll cover your tender ears
With my cold hands
I will not coax your tears
I will cast beautiful spells
To furl around your shivering heart
Don't stand there so motionless,
You are a void of dark chaos
And I want to dance with you
I want to write your songs
And never sing them
I want to show you the...
Your beauty is speechless
Your eyes are endless
You have nothing to say,
And I love your silence
It's silver
Because gold looks too dirty
For a creature like you
You're afraid of the roar

But I'll cover your tender ears
With my cold hands
I will not coax your tears

Don't stand there so motionless,
You are a void of dark chaos

Lilith's Lover
I was created, a remarkable being
A stunning and beautiful thing,
And Lilith was my name.
I was the first womanly creature
Ever to be,
With long dark hair
And black feathered wings.
I said to Adam
That I would not lie beneath,
And for this
I was damned eternally
I was sent to some forsaken place
Where nothing would grow,
Where I walked along scorching shores
Until I was met
By the One from Below,
He said his name was Samael
And with him I could reside,
He made me queen
Of the night and his demons
And took me as...
A stunning and beautiful thing,
And Lilith was my name.
I was the first womanly creature
Ever to be,
With long dark hair
And black feathered wings.
I said to Adam
That I would not lie beneath,
And for this
I was damned eternally
I was sent to some forsaken place
Where nothing would grow,
Where I walked along scorching shores
Until I was met

He said his name was Samael
And with him I could reside,
He made me queen
Of the night and his demons

Fallen, In Love
I used to be the kind of devil
That sparked the Morning Star
We made love
And spawned the things
That terrorize men within their dreams,
But now my hands are soiled
And I know not where you lie,
My heartache has darkened
The vespertine sky,
How sorely I miss
My Lord of the Flies.
I write poems with no meaning
And stare at the moon
Wishing it all hadn't ended so soon,
I was spat out of a beautiful Hell
For breaking the Devil's heart
My poor Little Horn,
I'm afraid I've torn
Your sweet underworld apart
That sparked the Morning Star
We made love
And spawned the things
That terrorize men within their dreams,
But now my hands are soiled
And I know not where you lie,
My heartache has darkened
The vespertine sky,
How sorely I miss
My Lord of the Flies.
I write poems with no meaning
And stare at the moon
Wishing it all hadn't ended so soon,
I was spat out of a beautiful Hell
For breaking the Devil's heart
My poor Little Horn,
I'm afraid I've torn
Your sweet underworld apart

The Perfect Creature
Your violet eyes are pale in the misty light of moon
The watery lantern casts sweet halos
About your shining hair,
Pearly prisms sparkling around your raven crown,
The dim pallor of many stars
Dusts the skin above your delicate bones,
The taunting shades of silvery dusk
Reflect upon thy brow,
Thy charming and sinister brow.
Most queenly, shadowy creature,
Glance upon my tattered form inconspicuously,
Your dark lashes assume the lusciousness
Of black butterfly wings,
Fluttering around the light
Of those sugar covered, bruise...
The watery lantern casts sweet halos

Pearly prisms sparkling around your raven crown,

Dusts the skin above your delicate bones,

Reflect upon thy brow,

Glance upon my tattered form inconspicuously,

Celestial Being
Behold in dreams
The bringer of sleep,
Embodiment of illusion
And subconscious sorcery.
Celestial insignia aglow on her face,
Shining a milky spirit blue,
Ferocious pink hue of pure magenta skin
Infused with the faint sparkles
Of iridescent galactic residue
And gold dust static honeydew.
Eyes smudged
With the stuff of empty outer space,
Liquid purple milky way shimmers,
Mold plump pierced lips
Barely parted and poised
So the primal ectoplasmic soul
Will not make a vomitous escape.
Astral trance
In a rigid...

Embodiment of illusion
And subconscious sorcery.
