- - - HER SANGUINE COCKTAIL - - -
I was entombed
Too soon
The ax, the cold
The time removed
Her throne of snow
That glows
In the new dawn
Clutched in shadows
Vampiric, necrotic
The flesh beneath the slit
Words flit across the triptych
Visions from the pits
Below
Her kiss was blue
But true
Never guessed that
I was the fool
She left a scar
So far
Upon myself
And on the stars
She sips a sanguine cocktail
And perfects crucifixion nails
A raven’s fame, a soundless scream
Yes, I dreamt of a beauty shat from Hell
There was a time
My crime
Was to love her
Like bitter wine
Roses and thorns
I’m torn
Twixt love and hate
My venom born
Prolific, neurotic
It stirs beneath the slit
Poetry in the cryptex
Nightmare of the pits
Below
Facing the rust
Of crusts
Coveting death
With rot and lust
She was so fair
The dare
To look upon
Her face, despair
She sips a sanguine cocktail
And perfects crucifixion nails
A raven’s fame, a soundless scream
Yes, I dreamt of a beauty shat from Hell
Candles burn with infernal grace
The disgrace consumes this place
A home inflamed stinking of the grave
The morning brings ruinous sight
A bleak light and portent night
Love and death eternally entwined
She sips a sanguine cocktail
And perfects crucifixion nails
A raven’s fame, a soundless scream
Yes, I dreamt of a beauty shat from Hell
