Hear Me now!
All crimes should be treasured if they bring thee pleasuresomehow...

Maleficent in dusky rose
Gathered satin lapped Herbreasts
Like blood upon the snow
A tourniquet of Topaz
Glistened at Herthroat
Awakening, pulled from the tomb
Her spirit freed eclipsed themoon
That She outshone as a fallen star
A regal ornament from a far flungnebular

Her likeness hung in the black gallery
Commandingunease
Demanding of Death to breathe...

Midst the whirl and daylightfauna
Of society at court
Elizabeth bedazzled, Her presence soughtapplause
Though Her torchlit shadow
Thrown upon damp cellarwalls
Greeted nothing but despair from slaves Her nightsenthralled

Thirteen Winter solstices had shown
Her path, that thedark
Had marked its dominion
Spaying the confessor
Whose caresses she'dknown,
As whipcord in the House of Dog
Her cold xxxx meat on holybone

Raped of faith, She now embraced
The narcissistic unrest frozenon the mirror's face
With this disdain, inside these veins
(Highbornwanton that She was)
She sought to keep what age would claim
Her soul wassold and for this toll
Reeking pyres ever smouldered
On the whims of oneso in control
Elizabeth, mysterious.
Cruelty brought thee orchids
Fromthe bowels of the abyss

Once upon atrocity when midwitches stifledcries
And carved abortive runes in reddened wombs
Exhumed by scryingeyes
Madness came upon
Her like an amourous lover's seed
Lifesbloodsplashed upon Her skin
In gouts torture unleashed

And to Her deadreflection
Twas as if Her pallor gleamed
Like an angel's warmed bycandles
Where erotic stains had cleaved
So demons dragged thislibertine
Lusts screaming for release
Upon the flesh of maidenspreened
As canvas for caprice

Exacting obeisance
Her gaze held aseance
Of spirits too trapped under glass to commune
A sleeter mistressthan Luna
Whose threats to consume Her
Met with torments giving vent toHer swoon

Flat on Her back
Pack-prey for the reams
Of verses andcurses
That haunted Her dreams
Midnightmare chimed
Thirteen in Hermind
A disciple of scars
Branded years hissed behind
Riddensplit-thighed
By the Father of lies
An ovation of wolves
Blushed theskies as they writhed

But Heaven is never forever
She came, a spentstorm
From the clouds...

Leaving serpents in office
Inside everygate
To lick righteous holes
Blinding Lords to the fate
Of virginsforced naked
To defile on rent knees
Hacked and racked backwards
Menseschoking their pleas

"More. Whore. More.
Twitching make me wet withthee
Carcass rub me raw"
