Rivening

I bounce between euphoria and despair witness the shores of kerosene it’s the season of burning ages of greed ages of need I am a riven thing in elysian night behold your beggar of babylon behold the gods erode in their torched groves scorch marks at my throat desire and calamity bind me in the mother void of delight bind me in the bosom of shadows the stars deliver Heaven’s sharp spears the devil divides and multiplies war of paradise I am your daughter of defiance Desire sentence me to exile midnight rider at my bedside let me suffer metamorphosis in moonshine katabasis I walked fearless into that vast darkness the cord of prophets at my throat desire and calamity bind me in the mother void of delight bind me in the bosom of shadows seraph in the sheets ravish me ecstasy I am blessed in your teeth with visions of luscious annihilation fire simmering at my skin I am burning in the sanctuary of Furies again the flesh is the vengeance of Lethe and I am a riven thing recover me not from the ruins of this radiant not recover me not from the ruins of desire
