Sad Goddess
Sad goddess sit
upon your
throne of night
Gaze into your
darkened crystal
See the ships
that touch the sun
the slice of life
the rape of beauty
Fair maiden watch
from on your
pedestal of
starlight
Fall the watchers
from dead waters
froth of madness
tear asunder
Old woman
die from
captive bondage
drink the stinking
waters foul
the poison
Dear lady
touched not once
in passion
coursing winding
down to silence
Starlit fire
shine on brightly
warm and
breathe the
drunken whisper
Sad goddess
sit high upon
your chair of
naught
While all the rest
is cursing
grinding
up to
violence
