I fell in love with a daemon

Signed my name above his heart

Devoted my blood to adorn him

Pledging my soul to his art

He is a spirit of the night

A fire beneath the stars

He engulfs me in flames

I lie unburned and uncharred

His essence is splendor

Beyond Lucifer’s beauty

His flames catch in my throat

When my eyes become greedy

He bathes in Earth’s music

Drinks the mourning dove’s song

Drums anthems with the thunder

And sighs my name with snow fall

When he affixes an interest

He unhinges a pointed maw

A lethal sinkhole of knowledge

A beast unbound by law

He is a spirit that loves

Obsesses, protects, and feeds

I swell from his intensity

In his garden of nurtured seeds

I fell in love with a daemon

Married my soul to all he is

To live tied to his being

Is to be a creature of bliss
