The Demon's Pendant
Twilight beguiled the light, devoured the day
clambered high he,down from abaddon
to behold his beloved, to avow his love
to fasten his heart in her bosom's warmth
moonlit night it was,
when first time he saw,
she gazed back ,a myth to him
a mortal behold him?
never had he felt that way
his heart melt and sway?
porcelain doll
tamed his soul
the sweet voice,
the innocent eyes
dazzled his mind
for hours they walked,
for days they talked,
drunk in spirits,
strongest the mankind knew
a craze they both named'love'
but words spread,his unholy vows
a new scandal in nether world
"If devil know thy secret game
burn you and the dame in flames"
sad he was,the brutal truth carved
so flew up again,to bid her farewell
awed she stood,
he whispered in her ears,
"O sweet love!
how i crave thee
wish to hold you and flee
but this eternal errand is curse
i'm hell born,
i'm hell raised
our worlds are separate
my touch burns
my kiss could kill
they call me demon,
your angel of death
a thing you should never awail"
tears stung her eyes and she cried
"why my love you never told?
why that pretentious glow,
that false show,
Alas! too late to let go
you bewitch'd the mind,
charm'd the soul"
impossible their love was,
they knew
no glory in its name
no tale of 'the demon and the dame'
and whispered they together'farewell'
but torn apart he ,his cage
took out the beating flames
poured it in a crimson glass,
a part of his heart
chained it down,
to hang around
"O my love!
a part of me shall always ablaze in thee
amber hot my heart shall always beat
your love shall pour the life
your love shall keep me alive"
and he fastened it round
resonating with her beat
embraced in her warmth
the flames of his cursed soul
the beat of his hellborn heart,
the blaze of his unpolished soul.
down the hell,the devil yelled
"tainted you're no more fit
down in dungeon you shall live"
and for years and years he burned
fathoms deep in dungeon
smiled and glad
his heart beating strong,
down her neck
in that crimson pendant!
