Hair as black as nightshade’s bloom Eyes cold sapphires set in a face of stone Skin, milky pale, cheeks diamond white, Heart as dark as darkest night Words of honey laced with hemlock Venom so sweet but alas so deadly Beautiful rose, poisonous thorns The devil with hidden horns Bloodied hand, murdered dreams She dares lay sleep to sleep Slashed hearts, tattered souls Broken is the most sacred of vows Never to sleep, never to rest Never to drift off in peace For thou hast put to death Thine sleep Thou shalt not know oblivion’s deep And if you sink beneath slumber’s waves Then hell awaits there-in To haunt and torture To hack as you stray Into that world each day In sleep your dreams will haunt and chase A-wandering you’ll try to run away Demons of Hades devils of Seth Haunt and torture Lady Macbeth So arise ye furies avengers of blood And hasten to punish this sin For the ****** of sleep The killing of a king Hades fire upon their souls shall bring

Ode to a Murderess
Hair as black as nightshade’s bloom Eyes cold sapphires set in a face of stone Skin, milky pale, cheeks diamond white, Heart as dark as darkest night Words of honey laced with hemlock Venom so sweet but alas so deadly Beautiful rose, poisonous thorns The devil with hidden horns Bloodied hand, murdered dreams She dares lay sleep to sleep Slashed hearts, tattered souls Broken is the most sacred of vows Never to sleep, never to rest Never to drift off in peace For thou hast put to death Thine sleep Thou shalt not know oblivion’s deep And if you sink beneath slumber’s waves Then hell awaits there-in To haunt and torture To hack as you stray Into that world each day In sleep your dreams will haunt and chase A-wandering you’ll try to run away Demons of Hades devils of Seth Haunt and torture Lady Macbeth So arise ye furies avengers of blood And hasten to punish this sin For the ****** of sleep The killing of a king Hades fire upon their souls shall bring
Another old poem, from back when my voice was a lot more Shakespearean
