| 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 |
