ParÖle de A GÖTHIC RÖMANCE
Evening minuettO in a ¢astle ßy the sea
A jewel mOre radiant than the mOOn
LOwered Her mask tO me
The sußlimest ¢reature the GOds, ƒull Oƒ ƒire
WOuld marvel at making their Queen
Inƒusing the air with Her ƒragrant desire
And my heart reeled with grave pOetry....
FrOm gra¢e I ƒell in lOve with Her
S¢ent and ƒeline lure
And jade wOOdland eyes that ushered in the impurest
"ErOti¢, laden ƒantasies amid this warm Autumn night
She lulled me away ƒrOm the ri¢h masquerade
And tOgether we ¢lung in the ßlOOdletting mOOnlight"
Pearled luna, what spell didst thOu ¢ast On me?
Her i¢y kiss ƒervOured my ne¢k
Like whispering waves 'pOn A¢herOn's ßea¢h
In a whirl Oƒ sweet vOi¢es and statues
That phantOmed the dying trees
This deßau¢hed sedu¢tress in ßla¢k, tOOk me....
In a pale azured dawn like Ligeia reßOrn
I tOre ƒree Oƒ my sleep - sepul¢hre
On the sea misted lawn where stOne ƒigures, ƒOrlOrn
Lamented the spe¢tre Oƒ Her
Bewildered and weak, yet with passiOn replete
I hungered ƒOr past Overtures
The ¢urse Oƒ unrest and her ardent ¢aress
Came mu¢h mOre than my sOul ¢Ould endure....
I, at On¢e endeavOured tO see Her again
Stirring ƒrOm midnight's inertia
KnOwing nOt even her name
On a thin pre¢ipi¢e Over ¢arnal aßyss
I dan¢ed like a ßlind a¢Olyte
Drunk On red wine, her dead lips On mine
Suƒƒused with the perƒume Oƒ night
FOr hOurs I s¢Oured the surrOunding grOunds
In vain that we might meet
When stOrm ¢lOuds ßrOke, ashened, ƒatigued
I sOught reƒuge in a ¢emetery
Sleep, usher dreams
Taint tO nightmares ƒrOm a sunless nether
Mistress Oƒ the dark
I nOw knOw what thOu art
S¢reams haunt my sleep
Dragged ƒrOm nightmares thOu hast wed tOgether
Lamia and Lemures
Spawned thee le¢he
TO snare my ƒlesh
POrtrait Oƒ the Dead COuntess
Deep stained pain that I had dreamt
Flaunted demise, liƒe's punishment
Leaving little strength tO seal this wret¢hed tOmß....
But pOised ne¢tar within my stirs
Up ƒeverOus desire and mOrßid purpOse tO sear¢h
ThrOugh ¢Oßweßßed drapery tO where she swOOns
GOddess Oƒ the graveyard, Oƒ the tempest and mOOn
In ƒlawless ƒatal ßeauty her very visage ¢Ompels
Glimpses Oƒ a heaven where ghOst ¢Ompanies ƒell
TO mOurning the lOss Oƒ gOd in ßla¢kest velvet
EnrOßed in their dOwnƒall like a swiƒt silhOuette
"Fleeting, enshadOwed
ThOu art privy tO my sin
Se¢rets dead, wOuldst thOu inƒli¢t
The ¢ruel daylights upOn my skin?
DOst thOu nOt want tO wOrship me
With ¢rimsOn sa¢riƒi¢e
SO my ¢unt may twit¢hagainst thy kiss
And weep with new-ƒOund liƒe?"
Red rOses ƒOr the Devil's whOre....
Dark angels taste my tears
And whisper haunting requiems
SOƒtly tO mine ear
Need-ƒires have lured aßOminatiOns here....
NO¢turnal pulse
My veins spill ƒOrth their waters
Rent ßy lips I ¢herish mOst
Awash On her perƒidiOus shOres
Where drOwning umßra O'er the stars
EßOn's graves where lOvers whOre
Like seraphim and Nahemah
"Nahemah"
Plu¢k Out mine eyes, hasten, attest
Blind reasOn against thee, En¢hantress
FOr I must knOw, art thOu nOt death?
My heart e¢hOes ßlOOdless and in¢ensed....
DOth temptatiOn prOwl night in vulvi¢ revelry
Did nOt the Queen Oƒ Heaven ¢Ome as Devil tO me?
On that ƒatal HallOw's Eve when we ƒled ¢Ompany
As the musi¢ swept arOund us in the ¢risp, ƒated leaves
Under hOrned Diana where her ßlOOdline was sewn
In a graveyard Oƒ Angels rent in ¢OOl marßled stOne
I am grieving the lOss Oƒ liƒe in sOmßre velvet
EnrOßed in Death's shadOw like a swiƒter
silhOuette....
