Dark Empress

A gothic ode of willing surrender to a seductive, dangerous figure.

A gothic ode of willing surrender to a seductive, dangerous figure.

dark empress of sweet abomination
despite your explicit
and overtly false promises
i grant you my complete surrender
while offering dark benediction
and blind devotion
to a black and hollow crown
adorned with false chastity

oh my unrelenting succubus
luring me into a love most malign
i have damned my soul
and bartered my immortality
for a moment with your cursed lips
upon which I must
quench my foolhardy lust
