Death came to me as Maiden
|
Death came to me as Beast
|
|
Venus smiled at us that eerie Autumn Night
|
Candlelight Banquet in Victorian Halls enflamed my Love for Her
|
Even Poet's passionate Verses were unable to evoke
|
a true Description of such tremendous Fierceness
|
Though appearing as sweet Woman
|
such a Beauty could not be human
|
"Art Thou my Destiny?"
|
Whilst we embraced Moonlight touched Thy soft Lips
|
Such pale Skin, as white as purest Snow
|
Wind curled Thy ebony Hair like Vipers on Medusa's Head
|
Less the Horror than the Grace turned me almost into Stone
|
Infected with such idolatrous Shape my deepest Dreams came true
|
These red magic Eyes, like bleeding Flowers
|
made me Slave to Her
|
Erotic Kisses under whispering Trees
|
were my Foretaste of Eden
|
Melancholia's Fire burnt in highest Flames
|
when She told me to leave
|
"Will Thou be mine again, most sinful of all Demons?"
|
|
"Encrimsoned Fullmoon is the Sign
|
when my Spirit shall cover Thine
|
At the eldest Oak of the Midnight Forest
|
I'll teach Thee Secrets buried in Stone
|
and by a Force to Man unknown
|
I shall never be alone!"
|
|
With blind Thirst for that doomy Hour
|
I wandered through my Days like (in) Trances
|
Tears of Blood stole from Moon's Eyes and were Omen to me
|
Bats haunted deep nightly Woods
|
whilst we kissed again in fierce Nocturnal Embrace
|
Love-drunken Slumber led me away from Mortal's sighing World
|
|
"Awake now to face my real Countenance!"
|
|
Thus to me spake Azrael in the Robe of godlike Beauty
|
|
"Hades sent His loveliest Angel
|
to grant Thee Expiration divine!"
|

Death came in Desire's Masquerade
