Salute.
With your last breath
Of the midnight hour
Will you hear
The musical call
From my Bacchic
Celebration towers
Will you join my
Unashamed company
Going past
To a new world
Of neverending pleasures
That will forever last
Where sensuous music
With wild voices
Will put your soul
At risk
With its seductive noises
Make your Fate
Close its ivory gates
Forever
No longer to lament
But to courageously
Welcome me
In
To pitch my tent
With my powers of enchantment and pleasure
As my kin
That will seem
Heaven sent
To those that
Seek love
And intimate sin
A contradiction
Of above and below
For I know
When all lascivious
Tensions must go
So shed your hubris and pomposity
As you
To me
Are led
The Golden Goddess of all
Exiles
To a place
Where purple butterflies
Die
So
With your last breath
In this midnight hour
Will you hear
The musical call
From my Bacchic
Celebration towers
With this poetic
First Kiss
And join my
Unashamed company
Going
To new worlds
Of neverending pleasures
That will forever last
Where sensuous music
Sung with wild voices
Will put your soul
At risk
With its seductive noises
And make your Fate
Close its own
Ivory gates
Forever
No longer to lament
But courageously
Welcome me
In
To pitch my tent
With powers of enchantment and pleasures
That will seem
Heaven sent
A contradiction
Of above and below
For I know
Where all your lascivious
Tensions can go
So shed your hubris and pomposity
As you
To me
Are led
The Golden Goddess
Of all Exiles
Living in the
Great In-Between
A place
Where purple butterflies
Die
As tattooed souls
Wallow and cry
Come to me
Come to me
