Foul snake despair 
Where once you darkened gardens 
Another coils there 
Where twice you sliced all hope from me 
And left these present scars 
An insane love now burns above 
The weft of incandescent stars 


Hilt your dripping fangs that range 
Skywards to rend apart 
I might have sang of wings unchained 
But long before I locked my heart 


For Gabrielle 
A fit and perfect stitch of foreign parts 
Whose beauty fostered poets 
Whose laugh like silver belts 
Thawed your bitter winter from my path 


Gabrielle 


Foul snake despair 
Where once you peddled secrets 
Another spoils there 
With speech that sweetens drowning 
In deep lagoons of eyes 
And legs that begged apologies 
For lengths that mesmerised 


Spare your hissing sentiments 
For her fee welts more than thine 
Though no malice she weans 
Just a palace of dreams 
Where windswept chambers pine 


For Gabrielle 
Whose hair-spun onyx is run with gold 
Her rouge lips smack of dark blood 
Her name in whisper rolls 
Forever on my tongue 
Lest her memory dissolve 


Gabrielle 
Oh, Gabrielle 


Once crucified 
I would have died 
A thousand more times 
Just to feel her breath 
On my neck as a fervent lover 
To drown her sighs 
In floods of tears so well refined 
And blind from spying her 
In the arms of others 


Gabrielle 
Gabrielle 


Buried inside 
Where she's all but mine 
Save for those that dine 
Oh her, on her perfect carcass 


Gabrielle 
Gabrielle 


Foul snake despair 
Where once you wreaked my misery 
Another toils there 
For long lost Gabrielle 
Whose nightly spreading grin 
Persists in other faces 
By whom I'm slowly taken in
