An Ode to Babalon
written together with Fr. Musigetes




My beloved Queen of Babalon! Your barbaric stare burns my Eyes!

As I look into your eyes, I see my death. Yet with my dying breath I know that I have conquered you…

Yet I am the fallen One… Dead but live in you…

Ah! My death pangs are just the echo of your kisses!

Drive deep your sword my Mistress, until I am no more…

Oh burned Sea of Inspiration! So loud with your Serpent tongue!

Yet your tail coils around the universe!

Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, for your kisses drop poison in men's heart!

Your 3 fingers yell to our race!

And the thunder, the storm, the echo, endlessly shouts!

Woe is me, for I am nothing, but still have your honeyed name on my lips of bitterness.

Iaessa, Iassana, Iaea!
Your name is Silence
Your name is Voice unheard…

Fire in my heart, Breath in my mouth, Sparkle of light in my dark eyes…

And my blood a drop in the forest of the blessed….
