Gabrielle
Foul snake despairWhere once you darkened gardensAnother coils thereWhere twice you sliced all hope from meAnd left these present scarsAn insane love now burns aboveThe weft of incandescent stars
Hilt your dripping fangs that rangeSkywards to rend apartI might have sang of wings unchainedBut long before I locked my heart
For GabrielleA fit and perfect stitch of foreign partsWhose beauty fostered poetsWhose laugh like silver bellsThawed your bitter winter from my path
Gabrielle
Foul snake despairWhere once you peddled secretsAnother spoils thereWith speech that sweetens drowningIn deep lagoons of eyesAnd legs that begged apologiesFor lengths that mesmerised
Spare your hissing sentimentsFor her fee welts more than thineThough no malice she weansJust a palace of dreamsWhere windswept chambers pine
For GabrielleWhose hair-spun onyx is run with goldHer rouge lips smack of dark bloodHer name in whisper rollsForever on my tongueLest her memory dissolve
GabrielleOh, Gabrielle
Once crucifiedI would have diedA thousand more timesJust to feel her breathOn my neck as a fervent loverTo drown her sighsIn floods of tears so well refinedAnd blind from spying herIn the arms of others
GabrielleGabrielle
Buried insideWhere she's all but mineSave for those that dineOh her, on her perfect carcass
GabrielleGabrielle
Foul snake despairWhere once you wreaked my miseryAnother toils thereFor long lost GabrielleWhose nightly spreading grinPersists in other facesBy whom I'm slowly taken in
