The Devil's Plea
Come dance with me, oh maiden fair,
Oh maiden white, of the mortal realm.
On a starlit night, when the moons' aglow,
Twine your hand with mine, together we'll go,
As fingers lock and palms do meet,
Once broken lines, are now complete.
Come my love, we'll wander far
'tween worlds of colour, and lands afar,
We'll pierce the veils, of sight, of mind,
And ancient mysteries, will us unite.
Come soar with me, oh mistress of air,
Oh mistress true, of the earthly realm.
In the leafy bower, where the wood nymphs dwell,
We'll sup the wine, of Dionysus hand.
Oh, Bacchus, Iacchus, sweet madness' king,
Unleash the frenzy; the raptures' within.
Come be my Semele, my earthbound lark,
We'll forge a beginning of lightness and dark,
Where lusty black and sunlight gold,
Form unions fused with magic's untold.
Come quick to me, my goddess of light,
Oh goddess of flame, for ours is the might.
To the black hallowed forest, ill take you away,
I'll play the hunter; you'll be my prey,
Through thickets of pines and rocks overthrown,
Ill catch you, ill claim you; ill make you my own.
Come yield to me, taste reckless abandon,
We'll travel the night on wings of dark passion,
Till breathless and sated, we'll flow past our doom,
And bathe in the glow of the vast Sanguine moon.
Come breathe for me, my angel of life,
My angel of soul, for you'll be my bride.
As night starts to wane, and the shadows depart,
To my palace ill take you; a new life to start.
I'll dress you in gowns of deep ruby red;
Place crowns of thorned roses upon your sweet head.
Come cede to me, surrender existence,
For you are the one I've claimed from a distance.
From the darkness I've watched, and I've waited until,
I could own you, possess you; make you bend to my will.
Come dance with me, oh maiden fair,
Oh maiden white, of the earthly realm.
Come soar with me, my goddess of light,
My angel of soul, for now you are mine.
