Lady Madness

Lady Madness how dost thou lie in mine bed?
How darest I allow thee upon my honor tread?
Fair Lady, Fair Madness, drop the dagger from the mind!
Remember once we were the honorable kind?
Oh how hath we slain the king? Lest some restless
worm eateth at thy brain?
My love, my dearest, I pushed thee though thou pushed me!
To hell with Hecate and her faces three!
I love the fair Lady!  Rest upon my cheek.
Perhaps you will return to sanity should you meet God in sleep.

That Which I Hate

From the Lord
I have learn not to Hate
but what Fate has taught me is to
allow Hate
to be that thing I dislike the most.
I dislike Hate to the point
that I will not hate Hate for the Lord
will make his own point.
Those that Hate shall face the Lord
and swift is his fury
and deep is the abomination
in his word.
