My hand is grazed by thin scattered bits of a flask As my skin is kissed by the cursed flow of the ether The red line of the sliced vein melts with the ember Of the cruel poison if you put down your mask.
The perfume descends down my warm palms Engraving on it its lethal bite, My mind reaches a new height As my soul screams in spams.
Collapsing in a gasp of air, in a long gauzy gown Creased like a shroud to welcome a body at auction sold Like a flower-shaped corolla poured out against some gold.
At the temple of agony, convulsing painfully In the sacred desire of her mortal folly Corrupted creature, ***** in her Dream And of her life stops the stream.
