The Bird of Hermes is my name
Eat my wings to keep me tame
From the bodies blood is shed
Soon the ghouls become undead
The Bird of Hermes comes soon
Not morning, evening or afternoon
The Bird of Hermes feeds on fright
Soon blood shall stain the night
The Bird of Hermes will devour
His enemies at midnight hour
The Bird of Hermes is my name
Eat my wings to keep me tame
The night shall soon be stained with red
You and your army lay bleeding and dead
Your bodies shall rise soon
And join The Bird’s platoon
You shall learn to live in night
You ghouls are made to fight
The stench of blood is ever sour
The Bird’s enemies shall cower
The Bird of Hermes is my name
Eat my wings to keep me tame
Standing before you,
Naked, but unaware,
Body trembling with every breath,
I await your approach.
Embracing you in ecstasy,
Our energies ascend in
A feverish rapture,
As themoon illuminates our silhouettes through lace curtains.
You pull away,
Leaving me listless,
Writhing in agony on the floor as my essence seeps through
My skin into you,
My sweet, emotional vampire,
Who leaves me in anguish,
Tormented until our next encounter when
I will stand before you, naked,
Waiting to be drained again.
Take my hand, my love, and look
beyond the feral redness of my eyes.
Ignore the black and empty void
where once a soul reclined,
and swirling whirlpools of a manic mind
crave for your sustenance.
Allow this taloned claw
to mold around your tender breast
teasing the nipple and
caressing the moistness of
your secret places
into a limpid languidness.
Permit these canine teeth
to brush against your silken hair
and settle on the softness of
your neck where dwells
your throbbing life blood
pulsing and acquiescent.
See how it gushes at the urging
of my loving bite flowing like
pretty ribbons through my veins
to join me at the center of my being
where my aged and aching heart
rejoices in renewal.
A lily in a twilight place?
A moonflow’r in the lonely night?—
Strange beauty of a woman’s face
Of wildflow’r-white!
The rain that hangs a star’s green ray
Slim on a leaf-point’s restlessness,
Is not so glimmering green and gray
As was her dress.
I drew her dark hair from her eyes,
And in their deeps beheld a while
Such shadowy moonlight as the skies
Of Hell may smile.
She held her mouth up redly wan,
And burning cold,—I bent and kissed
Such rosy snow as some wild dawn
Makes of a mist.
God shall not take from me that hour,
When round my neck her white arms clung!
When ‘neath my lips, like some fierce flower,
Her white throat swung!
Or words she murmured while she leaned!
Witch-words, she holds me softly by,—
The spell that binds me to a fiend
Until I die.
