6. Myopia
1. Prefabrication
2. Chill is the Ice
Consume the moon
With heavy overcast
Draw the curtain of burnished black
Beyond dimensions
Winter's ascension
Touched my brow and begged me back
To a winterscape
In forest land
Where sibylline snow silhouetted the damned
As ice I was cold
In Her wintry hold
The dweller in Her hand
Like a ghost She hosts the night
Chained with the moans of menstrual slaughter
A vanquished daughter
To the light
Chill is the ice
Again She came
In generous frost
When autumn passed on a rotting bier
Intent She prowled
Cruelly aroused
Shedding shivers in a helix of fear
Beneath the lace
Of Her frozen embrace
She promised me eternity
I stirred from dark dreams
Into darker ravines
Where crossroads scheme with destiny
And as Hers to serve I rise
Over kingdoms tempting tragedy
The darkest apathy
She conspires
Chill is the ice
3. Asmodeus in Her Elegance [Transpired to Nightmare]
Black Ravens taunt the night sky
Overshadowing stormclouds now cry
Somnus weaves his eternal magics
Asmodeus, pain she afflicts so tragic
Emerald diadems crowned upon thee
The dark mist roams free
Throned amongst regal ornaments
She now thrives in her elegance
Entrapped in a cirle of wretched spells
The dark queen chimes the church bells
In a fury of lustful desire
I now burn upon the tangled thorn pyre
Emerald diadems crowned upon thee
The dark mist roams free
Throned amongst regal ornaments
She now cries in her elegance
The celestial winter howls out dirges
Weeping sorrows of angelic beauty
As the moonlight purges
Her eyes ever so alluring
The demon inside her sealed
Closer I approach her exotic grace
Now her darkside revealed
Nightmares sweep the astral plane
Twisted thoughts from the zodiac play insane
The haunting ether now enshrouds me
As you embrace my soul erotically
Emerald diadems crowned upon thee
The dark mist roams free
Throned amongst regal ornaments
She now dies in her elegance
4. Midwinter Dreaming
Seduction of the ether
From the firmament within
The primovant sheds its stars
Selenography grows to a dying art
The lunar howls from afar
The aura of light, so blindingly bright
Adorns the pallor of your silky lined skin
Silence, gently, whispering now
Midwinter moonrise stands to sin
Aquiline ravens draconian breed
Soar above the sky
Arcturus burns in the sothic night mist
To Hades they shall fly
Battle scars torn from a passion reborn
(Venus), her tender touch now healed
Embracing mars amongst the myriad stars
A pleasure would yield
I hide 'neath the zodiacal mask of pain
Moonstruck constellations shall weep
Bleeding sin from a tragedy within
The lucid darkness shall sleep
Aquiline ravens draconian breed
Soar above the sky
Arcturus burns in the sothic night mist
To Hades they shall fly
Morpheus
Wouldst thou usher my tainted dreams?
Or shall persephonia
Capture my tortured screams?
The Hierophant shivers
The celestial moon
Foretell their disease
Bounded by quivers
Now deceptions swoon
Still illusion commands unease
Aquiline ravens draconian breed
Soar above the sky
Arcturus burns in the sothic night mist
To Hades they shall fly
Morpheus
Wouldst thou usher my tainted dreams?
Or shall persephonia
Capture my tortured screams?
5. D.I.A.
Amidst the labyrinthine heart of gnarled olive groves
Where silver leaves sigh and the breath of Zephyrus blows
Beyond the lustful reprise of contagious Propoetides
Upon a promontory besieged by Poseidon's whimsical tides
Ataraxia gathered beneath longanimus skies
In that bruised amethyst dawn, as the hosts rose forlorn
Impure to stalk a naked shadow
I anoint the scorn of those downtrodden pawns
With conflagration burn the hallowed
The curse of fate incestuous divinities debate
Yet I proffer prayer for their omens
To chisel grandeur as paint on a canvas of hate
The aspirant of desires unspoken
Moonlight caressed my piquant Madonna in eerie silver hues
A monument carved in sympathy and lustful eyes adeux
Her maiden's hair the buoyant light in a dioramic sky
Where cold fingers trace the fleeting day and urging kisses pry
Intimate liaisons with the Rose of Amathus
Love and desire to confute the odious
Alas she doth ignore sexual transports
Sour dalliance misanthropically wrought
This beauty condoned upon I hath grown
And Aphrodite's prodigy's exotically sown
Statue inert embraced to my girth
The sterile seas smile in undulating surf
Unleash the dogs of Hades
Their mauls a slaver of greed
To hunt the eternal Hesperus
Embrace her supernal feast
Do you see them bleeding
Where teeth as daggers feed?
Whilst behind the crimson veil
A mistress Pasithia seized
Feast upon my breast and mingle by my side
Bedeck me with kisses in the gleaming rift of life
Yearn for my veil more dazzling than flame
In pity I vow to take thee now and assuage thy deepest shame
In godly recompense my spellbound mistress
Awoke as a baroque temptress
And when malfeasance pressed in a tourniquet of flesh
We united in benighted incest
6. Myopia
