Mesmerized

Dreams stained red with destruction
In the shadows of my mind you lurk
Glimpsed on the dark side of existence
Your face a pallid blur in the murk

Raging lust, a lure of seduction
Cannot be denied for long
In subconscious battle to resist you
I’ve no defense against your decadent song

With illusion, you awaken desire
Long cold, forgotten, untapped
Your touch a lingering temptation
In the sepulcher of your soul I am trapped

In my chamber, the shadows are gathering
With the darkness, I yearn for death’s sting
My damnation is sealed with your blood-kiss
No salvation your ardor will bring

So I wait as the death knell is sounded
Ringing out in the lecherous night
As the moon like a lantern gleams harshly
And the darkness now swallows the light

At the window I see your bright visage
Wicked smile slashed across your pale skin
And the pull of your glamour compels me
To give in to the ultimate sin

As you suckle the life from my body
Giving pleasure, incredible pain
There’s no escape, should I even desire it
I surrender, my Prince, to your reign
