“50 Words for Poe: Azrael” What alchemy to lure Azrael who hidden until now keeps his vigil in the still sound of the shattering silence of falling leaves under the elms in the hollows of Hanging Hill with the dream of a wanton kiss the warmth of worshipping another dark angel feral He thinks to himself, this weakness is unfathomable to his calling, yet now such power of another brings him to his knees Instead of sickle to reap, he waits for her with his key in hand and warm in his fur trimmed roquelaure, he finds for once he has a heart and it is full running like a lupine to be tamed blood pumping Through the woods like through a mirror with ghostly grace his familiar walks towards him the moonlight caresses her lush curves her face all but hidden in her black monk hood the eyes aglow like a feral phantom she unclasps her robe and lifts her arms to moon's glow not shadow full of naked... unrestrained ambition tattooed above her breast Ink insignia Blood Red Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis Such bold bare order does become her his high priestess of The Golden Dawn The bewitcher raises her athamé inscribed with ancient sigils she calls to the air for Azrael and he moves towards her in a great rush of movement growling low you know...kind of all... el hombre lobo del diablo fully charged and prepared you just know the roof’s gonna blow As one they move through swimming blades of grass to thresh ne’er fall apart a little death lying in a waving mound of foxglove and four leaf clover his heart is on fire and roughly torn apart Inhuman becomes him with a little death he becomes reborn she is the Light The Morning Star In this moment she becomes Azrael in her he is free again Her lips taste faintly of roses Her skin like milk and honey A hint of lilac and lavendar with a kiss soul to soulless he drinks her up her rolling hips a dew kissed rapturous climb is her mountain they have an understanding contractual through corporeal and bargained charter with words and key on tongue he unlocks and agitates her a small price for entry to her cage he placates her of course she keeps her gloves on she saves him from his fiendish daemons and John the Revelator (LadyLabyrinth/2019) https://youtu.be/t4tVUstmOC4 Embrace Another Fall/Plant https://youtu.be/PaUGy7ZMdak ...the violins always get me ;)
