A voyeur in league with the great thief night   In an overthrow of women light   Slid in to rob the prayers   She whispered to the air with thin deliberation      Spare me from the wolves   Clawing past my door   Tear me from the ghouls   That start to gnaw my fingers      Following her heart   And every beat that spoke   I kissed her risen, naked   Soft white throat      Soft white throat      Incense lit at perfection’s feet   Has never burnt so sickly sweet   As the fragrance of her breath   When her lips met death with such imagination      Bear me to the moon   The dour toll of bells   Scare me with their boon   Of winters bitter graveyards      Swallowing her fear   I veered beneath her coat   Of soft white meat on   Soft white throat      Crepuscular, the lust in her   Went supernova   Setting maps aflame   Before her veins ran colder   And muscular, the final thrust   In her spilled over   Covering her back   I saw an angel lift her   Coma      I fell to eyes   Of a bestial past that once   Teaching grief through jaded pupils   Now shone like celestial glass in hell   In hell      And doused in the glow from her parting gift   Never there lay, with curves like snowdrifts   A beauty so frozen in bliss   Slumped to warm the dead to a standing ovation      Spare me from the wolves   Clawing past my door   Tear me from the ghouls   That start to gnaw my fingers      Following her heart   And every beat that spoke   I kissed her risen, naked   Soft white throat      Soft white throat      Crepuscular, the lust in her   Went supernova   Setting maps aflame   Before her veins ran colder   And muscular, the final thrust   In her spilled over   Smothering her cracks   I was the devil on her shoulder      Dear Lord I cry, before I die   Grant me the taste of love   One final time lest I should hide   When seraph call me from above      And should remorse not stay my course   From debt, addresses wept   Will ask no more of you my Lord   Save that my soul in hell is kept
