| The beast in the clouds had swallowed the moon
|
| A silverback thundering across the cosmos
|
| In silence now stars followed her tune
|
| Winking from existence on the brink of chaos
|
| I penned an open sonnet, to the pearly gates ablaze
|
| As I gazed upon this angel intoxicating everything
|
| The ball became her court, her presence there electrifying
|
| Candelabra fought, to tear themselves away
|
| She was a flame, divine
|
| My pathic call of duty, irrefutable
|
| Her eyes they paralyzed me, froze the flow of time
|
| A glimpse so achingly beautiful
|
| Fleeing from the manor in the manner of this crime
|
| We sheltered from the pelting, helter-skelter of the skies
|
| In the Greek gazebo, speaking tragedian rhyme
|
| Death would never settle, for one petal at a time
|
| He would pluck
|
| Lo, this malleus eve, is heaving to the pulse of souls
|
| She was the game, sublime
|
| A Knight takes Queen in ruby, Indisputable
|
| Then her eyes, they paralyzed me for a second time
|
| A glimpse so achingly beautiful
|
| Drinking in her flora this Aurora to the storm
|
| I was burning in the furnace of a love that went to war
|
| With ravenous desire, fires lit the heavens for
|
| Caressing in the rainfall, a less painful metaphor
|
| For this hunger
|
| On marbled tomb
|
| Breathless, cocooned
|
| A long red dress shrouds, like Ophelia, this Goddess
|
| Mourning then crawls
|
| Black velvet palled
|
| To pass fervent lips, betwixt her deliciousness
|
| Miserere Mei Diva
|
| Forgive me forever my bride
|
| But a gift was delivered, however perverse
|
| On that night you exquisitely died
|
| (Seraphina rise)
|
| Arcane perfection, her legend was etched
|
| (To queen demon revised)
|
| A fell resurrection, unparalleled in this world or next
|
| Awaken, forsaken, by others so taken as prey
|
| Now you shall stand in the grandeur of love
|
| A wonderland in which to play
|
| The beast in the clouds spat back the moon
|
| And arrayed in a crown of glittering cobwebs
|
| She slid to her feet like a prophet of doom
|
| Born to immortal darkness as mortality slipped away
|
| She was a flame, divine
|
| My gnathic call of duty, irrefutable
|
| Her eyes imparadised me with their wicked shine
|
| A glimpse so achingly beautiful
|
| Now she stirs the night just like the perfect Lorelei
|
| As she spurs the dark horse foaming in my soul
|
| Death is fleet, sweet, oft discreet, the beast in beauty’s mask
|
| Her skies, bediademed, complete, now freed of days grown overcast |
