REDEEMER: A LOVE SONG
You. My angel. My abuser
Born of dread and circuitry.
Heart of my passion. My surrender.
Alien love. My sanctity.
You. Destroyer. Resurrection.
Sentinel. Redeeming flame.
You. Abaddon: cold as logic
Caress my envy. Hold my shame.
In you, I hear lost cities' mourning
In you, I glitter, torture-sweet
In distant worlds, adore me, rape me.
Let me lie crippled at your feet.
You. My centrifuge and vortex.
Pale master, ruling pleasure-dome.
In you: I gaze into forever
Cry sick to space and journey home.
I give you this: my absolution.
For you: my death, stellar rebirth.
We rise as gods, entwined in coma;
Naked and pure, devour the earth.
