Dancing flame in crimson black

Long ago

It seemed eternity

Days gone as if years they were

A rumor among the living

Whispers of a void

Meaningless life

Same old stories coming back and forth

But no one there to listen

Nobody was there when it happened

So many, many years before

Nobody lived enough

Except for, perhaps, me

Long nights I’ve wandered

Step by step on cold stone

Through a path

Never meant to walk across

As roads lead to the woods in winter

And the pure white snow turned black under my feet

The wind shrieking throughout the branches

Softened by dead dry leaves

And the rumor reaches me again

Turn my back and leave behind

The material dark I can almost hold in my frozen hands

And in my way I return to the lights

Return to the voices and the glittering youth that

Embraces the night in the city

In this dance macabre they repeat when weeks get to die

I walk by, not a sound from me, not a glance down to this world

I leave… I can’t

What might it be?

A flame of crimson and black enlightens it all

A light made of dark, made of lust, made of fear

It has tempted my eyes

I have to go and find this otherworldly light

And there it is

No blind eye can see

How fire engulfs this goddess

As she dances the way only heavenly beings can

And our eyes meet

She shines in black and crimson

As blood spins around me like a ribbon in the wind

Her eyes… she smiles… she’s lost

The party is over, the starless night pitch blacked

And yet her lips or fire glow in red an fear and lust

Her hand is soft, cold ivory

Her wrist pulses with life

Her waist is light as air

We float towards my lair

A sweet nervous smile

Her skin, her scent, pure charm

Her beating hear under her pale round chest

Her clothes sliding with my help

Trying to imitate nature itself when sculpted her

Now lying on my bed

My hands rubbing her thighs

A silent shiver through her back

Her voice strangled as I taste

Her hands now grasp my hair

And in silence rigid bones start to melt

While her cold skin turns to ember

And, all of a sudden, she embraces fire

No words left to say

Her sweet crystal eyes found mines

And a non-existing whisper used to call me close

So now we’re face to face

My skin and hers, fused

No sound but her breathing

And that of hissing silk below our bodies

Until she breaks

Her nails pierce deep my back

And a light never seen before reaches her eyes

And then I understand we’re one

And then she smiles to me

“I am not afraid” says in this embrace

As my lips get to her neck

And her blood spills over silk

She smiles to me as she dies

And she will soon be back

Oh! How long it’s been

Since I dreamed you
