Death, spirit me
   away
   My anguished soul doth strain
   On taut and twisted reins
   Yet, insatiate I still remain
   Like a proud, unfalled 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 of 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-flung tomb"
  
   Be-with-us come
   Unveil the ancient flame
   Throw the cats our enemies
   Desire's menstrual strain
   Eastern Devil eyes
   A cruel erotic plague
   The Shekhina is in exile
   And the Israelites enslaved to shame
  
   Midnight
   Jerusalem
   A tenebrous phantasy
   Revelates to men
   Their celestial walls 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
