Commiseration In Mourning

My forbidden desire

Shone deeply within mine eyes

Archaic visions awakened

Hidden beneath forgotten memories

Seemingly endless phantoms

Parading

Devilish apparitions

Dance amidst the folly

Of my sleeping drama

I hear their cries

Bathing in moonlight

This lascivious breed I scorn

My raven skies embellished

With traces of bloodless depravity

I speak of celestial adoration

Divine lamentation

And tears of infinite mourning...

My utopia do I cover

And hate being my truest form of love

My nemesis unmasked

My own face do I see

Torn in silence

I hath seen the majestic beauty

Of darkened landscapes and ivory gates

O what fools can they not see I am lost

Endless battles they fight for my soul

No pity, no comfort do I now ask

Let me suffer alone in my own misery

My children shall never abandon me

Poor souls can they not see they are mine

A dying rose do I now give to each of them

An eternity of my love and death

Ornamental disgrace as they envision

Their dying savior before me

As his children to forever become mine

Ashen mortality

A faceless entity within them

How is it that I feel

Their saddened wishes?

Time passes... dreams die...

And I silently kiss away their lives
