Bride of Desire

I believed that by suffering I could burnish myself into existence. The day breaks like a needle to my chest. Beloved I was born and bludgeoned and to what end? That magnificent darkness came again. Eros in my throat, and a new world rose! Oh I would choose crucifixion in the golden noons over losing you. I sought such a sublime fire. Burnish me bright sunrise. I live in your stillness, desire. Witness your parade of red belladonnas born and bred in September fires. There’s a chandelier in the skies. Ravish me bright sunrise like I am your bride of ravening desire.

SWALLOWS IN THE DARKNESS, CARVE ME INTO SKINS. i’m finished, i’m finished. when you ravish me desire, I witness the infinite. oscillating between wild euphoria and wild despair. born of your sorrows, i am your daughter desire. I would choose to be crucified in the golden noon to die from desire with you! oh gorgon woman i gorge on the world. i witnessed. world without end. and i am that darkness again.

You run me to ruin with delight my lily limbs pinned by your wrists desire I’m a ravished Lilith at your lips I witness the infinite subdued by summer’s seasons of asphodels I’m the captive bride of desire my beloved betrothed it’s a bondage I chose binding in the tides of evening nails hammered to my palms ensorcell me oh desire my Pietà of nightfall this affliction of a beautiful melancholy the stars scatter before your breathless majesty I will be your ravished Lilith in the stillness of desire

I dreamed you at my bedside in surrender to a sublime fire oh beloved I will make you die from desire restless eves in the jaws of a beast, the ecstasy! the ecstasy shatters me with need! the joys of destroying yourself for a dream! yes desire possesses me! I’m a ravished Lilith at your lips I witness the infinite and I’m it I’m it
