Improvisational Harmonies - Sneak Preview #2 - "Danzig Tryptych"


I:
Mothers,
keep your daughters from me,
for I will lie to them,
I will seduce them
with promises of pleasure
and romance,
and when I'm done with them,
when their innocence is gone,
and I'm bored with them,
I'll leave them behind
without a second thought.

II:
Mothers,
guide your sons away,
lest my words they heed,
and my lessons they obey,
to abandon conscience and love
for cruelty and lust,
and should they follow me,
they will be driven forth to ravage,
or to bleed out, savaged
by my cruel fangs.

III:
Mothers,
most of all, stay away from me,
for I will teach you the lessons
of madness and passionate extremity,
driving you to forget everything
as I make you feel alive again,
only to leave you for another
plaything, returning
when I grow tired of her,
to twist you even further.

Inspired by “Mother” by Danzig

Losing My Religion - Sneak Preview #4 - "Forbidden Things"


Your touch,
forbidden me
by so many things,
still, a man
can dream,
can't he?
