Lipped with blood and last goodbyes
A lover's curse is a see-through coffin
And the smoke has choked these vistas
On the grave of my Clarissa
As would I for his dark eye
Though she was no snow white on the night she died
Of course would burn on the morrow with me
Has fixed, a basilisk, a scythe
Their cries have paralyzed
Her spirit flees, seeing chains of torches
Beneath these trees where the mist enwreathes
That will settle like ashes and scores
For on and in they spread her wide
Wherein even the crown prince of Hell
Their cries have paralyzed
Deep crimson stains that death would claim
For those I chose to mortify
A fleeting kiss stirring leaves of poetry
His robes of office swim him in
Where beauty streams freed from the teeth
Her shadower’s boon when the moon glazed over
Lipped with blood and secrets pried
As held sway upon losing her nor the mettle of roars
On the grave of my Clarissa
That for these crimes of mine solace me
But still I lie though tears have dried
I was no dark knight, breaking men like ice
On Esther’s reign and in this vein
Her exquisite corpse found fit for their sport
Of those beasts that had come
Naked she sways displayed for their vulgar delight
Bewitched, was fixed like Mordecai’s
But they would writhe for my dark eye
A verse for her whispered to the earth
But still I lie though tears have dried
I was like a lycanthrope until the moon glazed over
To tear out her spells in red lettered cells
I saw their lust still stain her thighs
Come out of his arrogant shell would falter to better
And the smoke has choked these vistas
Shalt soon avenge with swift reprise
Now I dream enwrapt in pure clouds of the sweetest oblivion
But her face soon dispels and as black feathers fell
I will fear not the flames that to passion are tame
And there on this night strung up in my sight
I scream through my bars at the stars
That seraph bride the Devil’s pride
Praises her curves so oft concurred
From heaven’s smoke so I woke to insanity
On charred remains with shared disdain
Not nearly the same searing pain, I pray
