The last time I saw you
Triggered the cataclysm of
An unquieted mind
As I tried in vain to decipher my own
Codex Consecratio
To overcome
And conquer
My own self-deprecating
Code Red
For
You are my dangerous solo
Mission
My one-way ticket
To Loves
Dark side of its many crimson prisms
And Wolf Moons
Empowered by that ruby ticket
I dream to manifest
And wait until the
End of Days
At your much-sought-after side
For I have been metaphorically
Blindfolded and willingly
Cohersed and
Dragooned
For I’m but a naive hostage
To you
My penance
To serve my own red devil on Earth
In human form
My happiness and dark majick
Contained in but one
My Scarlet Lady
Without any notions of fears
Or that human weakness
Betrayed through wet tears
Am I but a pitiful man
Some may say in hushed whispers in familiar secret backrooms
That I'm tied and lashed to your
Never-ending burning
Crosses Of Gaslighting
And infernal
Damnation's
Overflowing
And drowning in deep rivers of tribulations
Forever embroiled within
Lost lunacies of Dark Confessions
Centered around and circling love
Do I speak in unfathomable tongues
Am I indecipherable
Is that why you
Leave me lonely
Always
Soaking in this painful red symphony
Filled with feverish octaves which ambush my weakened soul
In waves
Awaiting the much sought-after days
That you always promise
When you say
I'll finally appear as your own
Red churches
Self-imposed
Crimson
Altarpiece's
Only
Epiphany
Because someday
In the future
You'll miss me
