I was the satyr you embraced
who was more than a kiss in the dark
and rose in your eyes like a rising sun
to dry the wet dew of your hauntings
I was the twilight breeze to your evenings
the burning star in your celestial black sky
where your perdition tempered my surrender
you were the intoxication of my life's longing
a flavored fruit to be devoured
in your sensual secluded realm of fantasy
who drew me in like a black widow
whose fragrant essence fermented
a desired forbidden love
revealing a more excited passion
that clouded my senses
I wandered the abandoned places of my soul
grasping for a jeweled thread of possibilities
you dangled from your web of deceit
freely laughing as I reached once again
for your soft skin
covered in the balm of aromatic aroma
inviting my senses to vanish
in the banquet of your fervor
designed to fill my lips with your Lilith kiss
of revenge for those who came before
to leave nothing, between my memory
and the passing of time
but an empty husk... that was my heart
