| Today was spent in languor
|
| Drifting through the fold
|
| As midsummer vent its glamour
|
| In cobbled streets a thousandfold
|
| I bore cruelty from the sun
|
| The jewelry that it hung
|
| About me God it stung
|
| Like life’s betrayal
|
| Now shadows lengthening
|
| Hear the nightside sting
|
| The promise of delightful things to come
|
| Wester vespertine
|
| When the sun is in decline
|
| Reddened skies underlined in purple
|
| Exemplify cries goodbyes are verbal
|
| Bats carouse about the tree line
|
| Daylight bows out, free and feline
|
| And dusk comes so sublime
|
| So wester vespertine
|
| Feel the rush of power this magikal hour
|
| The heavens blaze their flames devour
|
| The smoke of ruins black against
|
| A bled horizon mystic incensed
|
| Nighfall is dressed in fantasy
|
| Ethereal the end of day entrhalls
|
| Voyerus watching from the stalls
|
| It enfolds the drear and drab
|
| Lifts our heart to sheer romantic
|
| Pyromantic necromantic heights
|
| Of bright sensation
|
| Feel the rush of power this magickal hour
|
| The heavens blaze the angels cower
|
| Wisps of sulphur at my lips
|
| The abyss at kissed fingertips
|
| Nightfall is blessed with magesty
|
| This night will see indictment
|
| For my needs extol
|
| The virtues of excitement
|
| This soul reigns uncontrolled
|
| Sweet scents, the vents of Mother Earth
|
| Have lent to my rebirth
|
| Her perfume is perverse
|
| And that’s the way I like it
|
| Bethlem is opening
|
| Her terrifying wings
|
| The promise of its frightful things to sperse
|
| Hesperus will shine
|
| Out foremost as stars climb
|
| And dusk comes so sublime
|
| So wester vespertine
|
| Feel the rush of power this magickal hour
|
| The moon invades the vestal bower
|
| Gas lamps flicker in devotion
|
| Like fireflies on an iron ocean
|
| Nightfall is best left to telestic needs
|
| Crepuscular
|
| This theater is spurred
|
| To drive the painted nails home
|
| And let man’s blithe desire roam
|
| About the city lit to please
|
| The pretty bits this august eve
|
| Revive my mortared soul
|
| Toward the end
|
| Toward the splendor
|
| Like lot the host gives up its ghosts
|
| His gorgeous daughters now surrender
|
| Lammas glamour
|
| Hammered in the dying light
|
| Like a glowing hot saber set to clangour on the anvil
|
| We’ll bang destiny to rights now
|
| Wester vespertine
|
| This is our time to taste
|
| To chase to embrace to lay waste to the vine
|
| The cup of fornication is a decadent red wine
|
| Wester vespertine
|
| When the sun is in decline
|
| Reddened skies underlined in purple
|
| Exemplify cries, goodbyes are verbal
|
| Bats carouse about the tree line
|
| Daylight bows out free and feline
|
| And dusk comes so sublime
|
| So Wester Vespertine |
