One by one, waves of ghastly ecstasy shatter me I breathe fire as l shudder, The breath of a Goddess within me. Blood red Crown, An alchemical coronation begins As the essential salts of life flow downwards Yet another caressing. Kiss after kiss the fire grows stronger Everlasting flame that erupt from an aqueous fountain The sun and moon embrace And together they writhe and bleed With a sigh that is death and delight at once. Losing oneself into another My ego becomes a ghost, a pallid shade of my past I am nothing now, for a moment, l am complete. I am dead and l am eternal. New life springs from within! The premonition and anticipation The desire and the Triumph of Will... The Victory! The sword of power and the poison of seduction, Eros and Thanatos hand to hand! A frenzied dance, love at first sight! An awakening so painful, yet so exquisite Love and Power, the shadow of one another! New life springs from without By the sign of a great Monolith Unto the vastness of the starlit dome, The Shell of Aphrodite opens New life manifests... An awakening so painful, yet so exquisite
