Capillus de Sanguine
Hair of Blood;
the unveiling nightshade,
cast down your bedeviling eyes!
Could you bewilder me
through incantations disguised?
The wending path bestirs with
slight intrigue, as it stretches
and stitches, yet
another desolate scene.
Quicken your steps,
rush with panting breaths!
For the wellspring has sprung
bejeweling the crown of illusion.
Upcurve your lips, widen your eyes
for inside the dreamscape,
my serpents thrive.
Arch your spine and lower your tongue.
Touch the ground and
leave it burned.
To recapture innocence,
you must obscure the descent
and cast your dares into the oblivion.
Crawl to me, and bury your face
against my flesh so I can see.
I gaze down at your wounds, and smile,
then look back at the shadows and growl.
Only the thick of night may witness,
my need to feed upon such afflictions.

so masterfully seductive and stunningly beautiful lovely Angel..
love the fierceness of the ending..
"Crawl to me, and bury your face
against my flesh so I can see.
I gaze down at your wounds, and smile,
then look back at the shadows and growl.
Only the thick of night may witness,
my need to feed upon such afflictions"
making me dreamy today..
with love Crim.

Blue, The imagery in this piece is fabulous and complex and your language is beautiful. In this stanza I envisioned myself running down a dark forest trail pursued by strange, crawling creatures in my quest for eternal glory:
"Quicken your steps,
rush with panting breaths!
For the wellspring has sprung
bejeweling the crown of illusion."
Perhaps I'm a dragon with a tongue that scorches the earth. Anyway that's my wild interpretation :) Brava bella poeta!

the mention of serpents & hair conjures up the cruel image of Medusa.
I wonder what devious realms you have traveled, Angel, to create art of this magnitude...

Re: Re. Capillus de Sanguine
This portrait of Lilith I came across would closer describe my, maiden with 'hair of blood'. I'm deeply honored to receive your thoughts. - Medusa does have a lovely dark intrigue, as well. :)~ blue angel

Oh how strange Blue. Lol
Gorgeous write.
"I gaze down at your wounds, and smile,
then look back at the shadows and growl."
Very jungle feline vibe given off here. Primal, from the Earth she rose from.
Love lilliths story, shame so much has been lost by mans fear and tampering with scripture.

...this ink is Amazing, blue! Just wonderfully written!
I loved : "Quicken your steps,
rush with panting breaths!
For the wellspring has sprung
bejeweling the crown of illusion."
Gosh, you just have the ability to hook a reader from the very first line and we slowly sink into your world of beautiful words.

The seduced seducing
Facing shadows
Into the eyes
Not from knees
Just to get closer
To the darkness
Of his realm
To master
How to please
