Black Bottle Serenade

by Cymbre Dolphay

drops of scarlet elixir
swirled amidst the vortex
of twisted ancient galaxies
commenced in sullen grace

dances of demons
subtle steps lost forever
amongst portals unknown
lyrics felled of drunken tongues

dark forbidding mist
entranced to walk this place
by the hours of loss
and with thy hand destroy

a cursed being
that's forsworn piety
favoring the abyss
of these unending planes

Author's Note: Written in a haze where part of me was in the mood to kill, part of me reveling in madness, and the last worrying over the soul so like my own.
