My Mother in Darkness


Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death
Her velvet shadows in the rain,
disturbs the stillness of the hour
Each crimson kiss a tender pain,
like plucking petals from a flower
She took me pure as driven snow -
held my hand and then let go
Matriarch of lust nocturnal -
fill her vessel with your fire
Child endowed with life eternal -
taste the well of her desire
She is my mother in darkness
Dance with the lilies in the shadow of the valley -
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death
A pierced lip - a warm embrace,
ice blue eyes that chill my heart,
Valkyrie kisses burn my face -
this 'red thirst' tears my world apart
What is a poor boy meant to do?
I close my eyes and wish I knew
She rips the throats from singing angels,
white wings stained red with ruby tears
Bare limbs entwined within a casket
wrapped in bloody afterglow
so many questions we could ask -
but do we really need to know?
Now she is my mother in darkness
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death
