Lady Of Avalon (January 10, 2015)

My soul lays

Before you

Seeking your gift

Of healing

Denied to me

On other planes.

In your hands

Does wisdom flow

Long forgotten

By mortal men

And women.

Of a time

When the Gods

And Goddesses

Walked upon the land

With us.

As your dark hair

Sweeps over

My broken body

Covering it

In your warmth.

Like a light

Shining the brightest

On the darkest night

For me.

In keeping

The one weapon

That They have forged

Our salvation shall

Safe.

Until the day

I can return.

Author's note: Another release, from my poetic morgue. At the time of writing this, I was listening to the British gothic group, The Mission UK. Particularly their song, Deliverance.

A Fate Worse Than Death (February 9, 2016)

www.forums.sega.com

Upon the wings

Of midnight black

I soak

The night's sky.

Seeking

My true love

Whom I lost.

As a murder of Crows

Scrawls Heaven

And Earth.

Where

I can't go.

As punishment

For dealing

In the darker arts.

By pursuing

Forbidden knowledge.

In the hope

Of curing

What was killing you

My wife.

Never realizing

In healing you

I was condemning us

To a fiery fate.

As that ignorant fool

Of a priest

Led the lynch mob

Against us.

With murder

In his heart.

Even now

On these dark

And lonely nights

A single blood red tear

Is sled.

As I remember

How I abandoned you

To your doom

On the pyre.

By invoking

My dark Masters

In a single moment

Of weakness

On my part.

For which

I was rewarded

By having my body

Transformed

Into dark sex siren.

Condemned

To roam

The nightly sex dreams

Of men.

Until

I find you

Once more

My dear  heart.

And earn

Your forgiveness

For my sins.

Author's note: Every so often, I like to search, through the gothic images, and see, if there are anyone that pique my curiosity, to write a poem, about it. Sadly, I can't think of a gothic tune, which would compliment this event. Maybe, next time.

Forever, My Love (December 31, 2015)

Oh

How I long

To be

In your embrace

My love.

Knowing

My damned soul is

Eternally safe

Within your touch.

Chasing away

Those daemons

Which haunt me

24/7/365.

Making my life

A living Hell

Of the cruelest kind

That knows

No end

But death.

As I lay

In your arms

My last breath taken.

Nevermore

To inhale

Again.

For my name is

Forever more

Etched

Upon your soul.

And

On your lips

Therisa.

Author notes: This is my favourite track, from Nishwish's cd, "Once". And sadly, it's Tarja Turunen, last recording with the band, before she left.  Personally, I think she has the best vocals for the band.

Music (September 3, 2012)

Hear

Your siren's call
Drawing me
Near.

Slowly
Seducing me
With your spell
To the water's
Edge.

Pulling me
Deeper
With each note
Into your web.

Surrendering
My soul
Unconsciously
To your care.

As
My body moves
Hypnotically
To your rhythm.

Only
To awaken
With it's echo
In my soul.
