Nightfall, in thrall 
I call her beauty to me 
Whose ebon-lidded eyes excite 
Shadows to wander through me 
Whose kiss glittered with sleep 
Is a thief come after dark 
To steal away the leaden wreaths 
From my cemetery heart 


Thrilled to see the light 
Bruise-reddened, silhouetting 
Murder sites 
As dusk attends her son's blood wedding 
Spilt across the skies 
In reefs of omen 
Licking flames and pagan rites 
The night awaits with baited thighs 


Start this artist darkness 


Yearning now to start this 
Burning as an artist 
Turning on the darkness 
Dizzy looking up with pervertigo 
A sewer deity of recrement 
World below 


I'll make you pray 


I spy with wicked lips 
The cream of mortal kind 
Committing their sins 
Their penitent skins 
To the harems of my mind 


Prey 


Thrilled to breathe tonight 
The sultry air of graces 
Passed in flight 
Like birds of May with playful faces 
Fills me with delight 
Their crystal skirts 
Spun from stars, worn tight 
Wink of fists in wishful places 


Start this artist darkness 


Yearning now to start this 
Burning as an artist 
Turning on the darkness 
Dizzy looking up with pervertigo 
A sewer deity of recrement 
World below 


I'll make you pray 


My whims like smoke in summertime 
Writhe atop the blooms 
Committing their thin 
White Catholic limbs 
To the cloister in my room 


You see I need 
To feed my dreams to order 
To be agreed 
With the beast in me 
That bleeds their borders 


Prey 


Nightfall, in thrall 
I call her beauty to me 
Whose ebon-lidded eyes excite 
Shadows to wander through me 
Whose kiss glittered with sleep 
Is a thief come after dark 
To steal away the leaden wreaths 
From my cemetery heart
