Into The Trembling Night of Fear

Into the trembling night of fear
Your face welcomes me
I feel unrest
Your voice soothes me
I dissolved into nothingness
Before your mind slipped away
Before it shattered

I did not want to blink
But gaze until my eyes fall
For I wanted not
To lose any sight of you
Even for a fleeting moment

Your petite stature flows
Like an ashen tree at dusk
Like the shy breeze fleeing
The inevitable nightfall
But my gaze held you down
I did not look away nor afar
Not even just the blink of an eye

My lignum aloe
So fragrant on waving silk
Descended to the lake
After the frenzy of tears
Wait for me in the noble forest
Enter the chamber of obsessions

If we had cast the circle
We would have slept there
Until the end of time
Heard melodies of disturbed whispers
A symphony bleeding into a gush of terror

With lamentations of a time gone by
Whistles and howls of the whirlwind
Seeping through the primordial waters
Hear the wailing get louder

Hear, the goddess in bloom
With flowers in your hair
It was vervain so ardent
Made from eastern born sunshine

At the dawns edge
You entered my dreams
A mellow delight in agony
Paroxysm of tears

The muse stood so near
Ran around the maypole
I wanted to break
Your walls of sabbath
I wanted to snuff the candle

Smear your red on my lips
It would darken like the soil below
Sealed with me until eternity
The forbidden arts of heresy

I would grasp
The one which stands over
The two keys
That lie under two angels

Then days would come when
The dark clouds above cleared
Those days shined with mercy
But all that is real was annihilation

The desolate grass tempted
Moonlight called for ravishment
Autumn screeched in despair
The green butterfly is captive
The confession thereafter echoed
I will have it here

There approached the binding
My epiphany was when I laid eyes upon
Those two dark springs
Where the water is bewitched
Of porcelain like pale marble
And two sultry pillows made of velvet

The sky looked so fake
When you were not beside me
Cerulean and twitching
Twisting to the cold dance

Chariots of fire would carry me
Hastened to our union
I come to hear the butterfly scream
Where dost thou dwell?

The warm embrace of hysteric bliss
At our circle of manias
Rapacious desires leaked
Into a waltz of gore and submission

Thrown into a delirium
Where fog hides funerary romance
Street lights whisper
A hollow cocoon is what's left

The mist sweeps through the street
Plucks the flower from the ivy
In nights of greater evil
Apparitions intoxicate my mind

While the chains hold back
The frantic escape
The swing goes back and forth
And it comes to a stop

The shimmering white ink
Drips from the firmament
Enters the saturated lake
The globe sparkles with anticipation
The burnt taste of a bleak union
Here springs a tragedy into life

You will shed the false light that is you
Silence the voice so high
Strip the facade that gives meaning
Give me the portrait so bare
In the tall grass' flare

But it is all a distant memory now
The offering hand was cut
I shall not take you
For my eyes are seared
I am in chains

It was revealed to me
In a dream of restless adoration
They took my sandals
So I am bound to these sands

Now in our moments fading into the dawn
Like the ashes of old tomorrows
Slow waves and peonies
I could conjure love and plead
Gaze into our garden of lies and weep
Alas, the incense fades out
My rite of passage has ended

The tears evaporate into ghastly perfume
Like phantoms of a time lost, swirl around
From the studded night sky
Laced with ornaments of our fate
Stars vanish like diamonds cast
Into the eternal depths of darkness at last

Here,
No light shall shine
Upon this yearning
Buried in the cold soil
Like a tomb, lost to time
Akin to the northern wind
Let it rest.
