Lilitu

I am ambrosia. 

Straight from Venus.

I am the quick silver; drink from this chalice, my lips divine.

Ares lay his quivering lips upon. 

Once; God of War; raining thunder upon the sky.

I am the one,  willing you immortal.

Blood thirsty is he, never becoming full.

Hunger.

Laying ever lusting lips upon my skin; the bread, his goddess.

Rendering thee enslaved, be me your Aphrodite.

Nearby on this plain, energeia, possessed by the harpies.

In the night sky, plays their voices, like violins, gliding through the atmosphere in strums.

Humming a tune across the world.

Reader be the star that looks upon this story as I shed new light to a world; unknown to
mankind. 

This happens but once a blue moon, when filtering through the clouds it is enough to send
the chill of night through one's veins.

Apocrypha shall return at this night.

Sweet Samael, fall deeply into me.

Protect the young by ways of; Senoi, Sansenoi and Sammangelof.

Dance this night til its end, here the laughter in the still darkness.

Utterance.

"Away, cursed Lilith. Thou hast no place here." 

I fade into the Reed until time repeats.

Winter Lillies

Your eyes are aglow

Leading through them

vines

Mysterious thoughts

Wondrous skies

What are you thinking?

I want to know

Rose petal cheek

Drop of dew falls from  your eye

What memories pain you so?

I wish to unlock your troubled past

I'll walk through the thorn felt foliage with you

The dark clouds hover over head

Doors covered in vines 

Rows

I'll pull from the roots 

They go deep underground

I see what you did inside yourself

Veins

Where scars lie

Past words written across your forearm

Thin, deep cuts placed over your heart

Blood soaked sleeves

Right where your heart was worn

My words, the Aloe Vera 

Smoothed over delicately

Your heart

Compassion

What I feel

I empathize

I too bore marks 

My arms streaked with the acidic tears

My deteriorated heart

Pieces back together with your words

Our lives intertwine

Never let me go

I'll hold you through the night mares we'll go through

Already passed the first door

Others to come

Never ending staircase

We'll spiral down together

This house is haunted

Our past mistakes trip us with each step

We'll carry on

Burdens weigh upon our shoulders

Slowly we trail

Many a door is passed

Automatic piano plays shakily throughout the halls

Breathing to match the feeling that the music expressed

Whispers echo through the fog

Behind us the house can be seen now

In the distance

A light raps around the vanilla sky

Stars orbit vaguely 

Unanswered prayers

Through the woods we fall

The darkest of our moments

We confide in each other

I'll catch you as you descend

Once again in my arms

I'll kiss that crystal that lay upon your cheek

More crystals fall now

You kiss the crack in my smile

Shards of glass fall from my eyes now

Through the happiness we found in each other

The sadness cuts my cheeks

Emotion bleeds reveling my sorrow

Swimming with you in death

We find new life

Out in the courtyard

We lay upon the snow

White blossoms fall from the celestial sphere

Our blood crystallizes this snow

Rose petals fly from our warm claret

You, the spark that caught my eye, were the death of me

I'll love you forever

Carried away by the wind

Our memories

We fall asleep 

Words never will be spoke again

Feelings will never be felt

Our love ends here

In death we find each other

That mark we left on the world will bloom sweet lilies

May they never die like we did in this frigid world

My Cloud, My Love

Laying on this nimbus in repose.

I walk up to you, my dark winged love.

I run my fingers through the constellation of your hair,

As you slip the whisper off my kiss.

Hands together like lock and key.

Cherish as it it were our last.

Under the meteor shower.

Here we are free from Pandora's box.

Two crescent moons is the sight of our sky.

Look up to the morn' with each in arms.

Watch the light fade.

We'll meet again tomorrow.

Muse

Ink leaks from her veins in riddles,
Words scribbled in mirrored existence, 
Emulating and forming thoughts before breaking,
The floor is her canvas,
Her hands the brush,

She strokes his hair to the lyric of the piano,
The tune of his voice fills her so,
In the midst of night Glints of reflective poetry trickle to her,

Her only light, 
His words in song,
His voice a harp,
Each note a string stroked,
Humming a hymn to entrance her,

Always before her next breath is caught,
His lips, the soft words that are pursed to her kiss,
Steal her heart slowly,
Weakening her, 
Giving her strength all the same,

Intentions lost in the mood,
Each key placed precisely according to the last, 
Searched through the room for the words,
That will open up the next locked door,
But no words will open a silent film,

Caress this beauty with the words misplaced from shaking hands,
In the midst of darkness his feelings shed new light,
Transparent is she to his all seeing eyes,
The depths of her eyes are seen as he is drenched by the knowledge.

She bares thin scars as revealed by her light tears.
He kisses her cheek as he embraces her,
Delicately as this moment is delicate on its own accord, 
In this stand still of a moment

She is fragile, 
Her skin a pale ivory,
She is herself a porcelain creation,

Catch her before she falls apart in your arms, 
Don't let her crumble to scatter in the breeze,
Her lips, the essence of spring, the sakura,
Soft, pink, and sweet. 

Kiss this flower,
Watch her bloom, 
Taking root in your heart,
Casual thorns embedded deep.

He is her muse,
The one that inspires her to tell,
Hardships and longings,
A key to this locked door.

He left through the door,
Her secrets lock replaced,
The jingle in his right pocket lingers,
This melody is played once again.

The song that captivates her is the whisper,
Leading her to await his return,
In silence she'll wait with a black pallet,
Water colors will help her paint her story.

He spills his notes and ink begins to vein her skin,
Blue hues highlight her mood,
His accidents will go on to aspire,
She, his image has become his captivator.

Embeded Emotions

I sit on this floor 
and look at this same 
six-sided room,
a die that I continue 
in a trundle manner 
for fortune's fate.

I search for a turnkey, 
which I will not encounter, 
for I am not of compliant natures.

Trapped and scared from 
thoughts of turning
into procreators 
that held the girl back.

Wings of tattered emotion 
seem to be embedded in her back 
are to show signs 
of false hopes.

She calls herself Faith, 
though she hasn't one.

To say in reply to what 
her name means, 
she is noone so 
there is lost hope in herself.

You see her heart worn 
a sleeve covering her 
conflicts with emotion 
on her forearm.

Soft spoken, her voice, 
reassuring that 
the timidity in her eyes 
isn't there 
when first glance 
is gazed upon to be known.

Hair of silk, 
long and black, body pale, 
eyes bold, 
all features of 
the one who used to be 
loved for who she was.

But as the snow falls 
like flower petals, 
falling elegantly off its stem, 
so does the girl 
falling for him.

Shining Voice

Twinkle
The stars shine bright
Her words
Sung on par
Like piano keys played through this night

Channels

A stone castle in solitude
adorned with darkness and silver scratches in this night sky
a foggy atmosphere is felt
were you to take this path to never land
sound of insanity 
heartbeat splinters through the silence
like hide and seek i am still dreaming
walking on roses like wine
ever flowing through the clouds
winding up the staircase as petals dance down the edges
those silvery beads rising up to give you dimmed lighting
this place is mood for setting
like a book it has many riddles
looking up through a roof that inst there
following where it all began
fingers trace and trickle through the stream
up through narrow hallway
a room can be found
a bed rising from the floor
candles flicker as wind speaks softly through midnight air
you are being flooded by the scenery
drink it all in
lay down as to catch your breath
heart throbbing 
being swept off one's feet heightens the senses
this place is a beauty
lay down with her she will keep you warm
a treasure
never built in a day
but remembered for a lifetime

Maiden Head

Candy apple red 
Torn apart the sky
Bleed your scenery to me
Let it rock to crystal, quartz
Laying on heated sand
Your heart
Implode
Feeling of intensity
Only knowing my words
Under broken glass
The stars 
Read between the lies
As I whisper sugar felt snow to you
In this, desires will be met
Promises never kept
I'll lie next to you
In warmth of your clavicle
I'll lay the butterflies precisely
Delicate silk spun around you
My prey
Reach to the heavens above
Breaking you slowly
Your spirit flows
Through cloth like sky
We have all the time in this world
Never ending
Like my thoughts of you
In the dead silence of night
Sex is a musically inclined voice

Love

A glimmer past hope and I shall wave by and bye you, the next of kin, I wish upon 
you. Crowned star, I wish for a place of sanctuary and graze upon anew in my 
night sky. Morbid blood dost drip like dew upon these coldly driven vains, as if to 
kiss your sweet apocalyptic lips in great crimson and demise. You hold my box of 
chocolates, so sweet, one bite of words lay ash in thy tomb that lies beyond thy 
teeth and gums. Oh holy, unholy book tis you upon that midnight dreary, how 
combersome you have become. To me, you are held so dear to my locket of 
expectations, unimaginable to even life. Golden paths lay a foot in your eyes. 
Summer mornng shines through once more, only for it to be broken into my dark, 
sad, desolate wave of my hand. You hold the world's self pity upon the chain, 
upon your heart, your hope for a mere shadow, a crack, for this lack of a better 
understanding that we call love.

Butterfly

Walking through notes that fall from your piano like an ambient rain
leaves drift through the air 
guitars hum like the wind
happiness bends to your will

When will this song end
always intertwining 
fingers through your hair
do you ever notice that whisper

Life can be cruel
love muttered silently
what will become of this
bloodied footsteps

Sutchers fall out 
the pressure can not hold 
rapid beating
heart flutters blindly 

The butterflies swept away
flying into the wall
paint me a picture
of love that isn't cruel

Ill sing you a story
of an unhappy ending
you'll find my secrets one day
but on blank pages of rose petals

Love,

The butterfly's you'll never catch.
