Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids

Hear me now, "All crimes should be treasured

If they bring thee pleasure somehow"

Maleficent in dusky rose

Gathered satin lapped her breasts

Like blood upon the snow

A tourniquet of topaz glistened at her throat

Awakening, pulled from the tomb

Her spirit freed eclipsed the moon

She outshone as a fallen star

A regal ornament from a far flung nebular

Her likeness hung in the black gallery

Commanding unease, demanding of death to breathe

Midst the whirl and daylight fauna

Of society at court

Elizabeth bedazzled, her presence sought applause

Though her torchlit shadow thrown upon damp cellar walls

Greeted nothing but despair from slaves her nights enthralled

Thirteen winter solstices had shown

Her path, that the dark had marked its dominion

Spaying the confessor whose caresses she'd known

As whipcord in the house of dog

Her cold cunt meat on holy bone

Raped of faith, she now embraced

The narcissistic unrest frozen on the mirror's face

With this disdain, inside these veins

Highborn wanton that she was

She sought to keep what age would claim

Her soul was sold and for this toll

Reeking pyres ever shouldered

On the whims of one so in control

Elizabeth, mysterious cruelty brought thee orchids

From the bowels of the abyss

Once upon atrocity when mid-witches stifled cries

And carved abortive runes in reddened wombs

Exhumed by scrying eyes

Madness came upon her like an amorous lover's seed

Life's blood splashed upon her skin

In gouts torture unleashed

And to her dead reflection twas as if her pallor gleamed

Like an angel's warmed by candles

Where erotic stains had cleaved

So demons dragged this libertine

Lust screaming for release

Upon the flesh of maidens preened

As canvas of caprice

Exacting obeisance, her gaze held a seance

Of spirits too trapped under glass to commune

A sweeter mistress than Luna whose threats to consume her

Met with torments giving vent to her swoon

Flat on her back, pack-prey for the reams

Of verses and curses that haunted her dreams

Nightmare chimed thirteen in her mind

Disciple of scars branded years hissed behind

Ridden spilt thighed by the father of wolves

Blush the skies as the writhed

But heaven is never forever

She came, a spent storm from the clouds

Leaving serpents in office inside every gate

To lick righteous holes blinding lords to the fate

Of virgins forced naked to defile on rent knees

Hacked and racked backwards

Menses choking their please

More, whore, more

Twitching make me wet with thee

Carcass rub me raw

And to her dead reflection twas as if her pallor gleamed

Like an angel's warmed by candles

Where erotic stains had cleaved

Demons dragged this libertine

Lust screaming for release

Upon the flesh of maidens preened

As canvas of caprice, cruelty and the beast

Cruelty and the beast

Cruelty and the beast

Cruelty and the beast

Raped of faith, she now embraced

The narcissistic unrest frozen on the mirror's face

With this disdain, inside these veins

Highborn wanton that she was

She sought to keep what age would claim

Her soul was sold and for this toll

Pyres ever smoldered

Whims of one so in control

Elizabeth, mysterious cruelty brought thee orchids

From the bowels of the a

From the bowels of the abyss
