Beauty Slept In Sodom

Death, spirit me away
 My anguished soul doth strain
 Oh, taut and twisted reins
 Yet, insatiate I still remain
 Like a proud, unfallen star
 That dares thee from afar
 To calm my thund'rous heart
 Else, rend it's knots apart
 So I may never sing
 Of jewelled skies o'er my strings
 And love, a wanton thing
 Can plunge on burnt, black wings
 To hang amid the thorns
 In scarlet, like velvet worn
 About the clouded moon
 Who wanes in solitude
 I am alone
 Thirsting for the dark
 That lurks beneath marbled stone
 What black witchcraft
 Shalt prise thee from thy dreams
 And what perverse world-strategy
 Will wend it's way with thee from sleep?
 Rouse my disease
 And with cadent naked dance I shalt teach
 Thee wisdom of darkness
 From earth and red sea
 Lightbearing Samael
 Coalesce with me
 Twilight
 Through pagan city gates
 Bred shadows play like twining snake
 By candlelight
 Thanateros rites
 Death seduced and chaos wakes
 Obsession grips, blindragon fever
 In throes of scythed orgasm, Eros dies
 And Saturn rapes faith's lovelorn Diva
 Upon a cyprean altar, stripped bare for sacrifice
 Virtue births a demon
 Pandora's box, unhinged, sets loose the night
 Winged lilith born for want on Eden
 Fanning plumes of harlotry
 Like pearls before the desert swine
 The skies, they darken
 And the oceans part
 Storm forth indignant Kraken
 Reborn Venus as thou art
 Feasting at my banquet
 Of Saturnalia
 I call thee having wrestled
 The tides from lonely Diana
 For thee Endymion
 I forsake the cerements, of this star-fling tomb
 Be-with-us come
 Unveil the ancient flame
 Throw the cats our enemies
 Desire's menstrual stain
 Eastern Devil eyes
 A cruel erotic plague
 The Shekhina is exile
 And the Israelites, enslaved to shame
 Midnight
 Jerusalem
 Revelates to men
 Their celestial wall crumble
 When walks the Xul
 Born to the scarlet, whore in Babylon
 The centuries of wait have all but gone
 Behold dark beauty stirs to conquer on and on
 Now worship Everything
