Unseelie

throwing spells from introvertive darkness
secreted away hide in yur small silent lair
these enchantments last a few short hours
sometimes they linger many years of despair...

a seldom visitor like sunlight seeks to know
little darklings skitter in with their rhymes
they all wonder at the sad things which cry
and steal a glance to see all furtive times...

in yearnful longing for that other place
it slowly fades, dark dreams and lost faith
turn to find such unearn'd luck
with shadows play that perfidious puck...

thru this unseelie's eyes, see the hope which she brings
her name is despair but now look in her wings
bright colours dance in the space that they fill
lamenting in pain, yet hope haunts us still...


...hope haunts us still...

like a lotus lavishing at Radharani's feet...

in the darkest shades of my soul which you so deride
lost where forgotten memories lied
strung out and empty on the shores of Dead Dreams Lake
shattered wasted loves watch these words fall and break

i'm just a virgin caged and bleeding in Countess Bathori's court
glimpsing ghost ships from this Boschean resort
eye needle muses spoon thru reveries flame
intimate as blood and all naked without shame

downward twisting spirals kissing poison'd love's pyre
starless bible-blackened by her cold desires
my love laughed at me in my tears wept forlorn
ashen soul in barbed wire flesh flayed and torn

entranced by this chant and a Demon of Lies
ensnared by her scents and infernal disguise
puppet-string saviour, in gods veins shall we dance?
seeking sacred love in this suicide trance

with a cocaine raga and a bloody nose
down in fields of poppies where hypocrisy grows
watch that television mindcandy, progamming drone
so tired of the static, all deaf and alone

dakini tantris dancing
you're so beautiful and sweet;
like a lotus lavishing at Radharani's feet...

.p.o.r.n.o.g.r.a.p.h.y.

c'mere i wanna tie you into little knots, you see...
c'mere i wanna treat you like a dirty little thief.
stealing always stealing
all these little bits of me
i'll fill yur mouth with wretchicide
so you can speak with me.

c'mere i'm gonna treat you like the sick you want to be...
c'mere i'm gonna feed you decayed pornography.
gonna tie you up in little knots
i wanna watch you bleed
fill you up until you scream
but you never can come free.

c'mere i wanna treat you just a little bit like me
c'mere i'm gonna feed you my wretchicide and tea
teasing always teasing me
i wanna watch you bleed
gonna tie yur heart into little knots
so you can feel like me.

...and you can feel like me...
