Mystery in Her Eyes

Eleusinian mystery burns in her eyes
That torch my soul in a madhouse opera
On the altar of her sanctified sorcery

Whose electric neon smile
Glows with the oracular trance of Pythia
When her coiled dance conjures the serpentine flames
From the thousand fires of her incendiary mysticism

That glows like stars on a future horizon
Where the Bride of the firebird sings her darkly lit magic
Under the candlelight of a chandelier sky

When she gapes with the mystery of the macabre        
That draws supplicants to the fragrant smoke      
From the sacred fire that burns on the Stygian altar      
Below the navel of her cosmic source      
       
Where sanguine songs play        
On the smoky petals of her...
