Rosa Mystica

Roses bloom
Like blood from a cut
Wounded, the heart cries
For a love
Just out of reach.

Mithras

My Altar is covered in dust


Where you once placed offerings over flowing


My ears hear only silence


As you no longer speak prayers to me


When you called my name I was there


When you asked for blessings I gave them


When you needed me I was there


But now you no longer call


Have you forgotten me ?


Your enemies I deflected


When attacked


Disease I healed you


When afflicted


But now things are well


My good works are cast from your mind


Have you forgotten me ?


My child do you no longer believe in me ?


Will I become a foot note in history ?

Opio Y Rosas

opiu oscula
faciem impiu
lacrimas fluo
amore crescit
deum tristita
cor aperit
salutern dolor
erue de tedium
animae venena quo
in horas
amen

Translation:
Opium kisses the face of the wicked
Tears pour, love grows
Godly sorrow opens the heart
The salvation of pain
Deliver us from boredom
Which poisons the soul
Hour by hour
Amen.

Mictecacihuatl

Rose petal lips stained with my blood
Curled around cruel teeth of pearl
Whispers of affection
Pierce my ears with seduction
Eyes the color of a new moon night
Pin me down with there hunger
Feasting on my sorrow
You drain me slow
Left hollow
I shuffle through the daylight hours
Alone

Wempire

The eternal kiss of blood and wine
Your pale arms encircling me until the end of time
Our hearts wedded to the endless night
As we dance at our own funeral in ecstatic delight

Kyrie Eleison

Locked away in my monastic cell
A vow of silence never a whisper never a yell
In my mind I say my prayers
Every time they are complete you appear

Kyrie Eleison wipe away my tears
Kyrie Eleison take away my fears
Kyrie Eleison show me the light
Kyrie Eleison take me to salvation this very night

You hear my confessions yet never judge
You hear my doubts but hold no grudge
Each day I grow closer to you

Kyrie Eleison wipe away my tears
Kyrie Eleison take away my fears
Kyrie Eleison show me the light
Kyrie Eleison take me to salvation this very night

Longer and longer you stay with me
Holding my head in your lap stroking my hair
Singing songs in my ear
Days turn to weeks, weeks into years
I have lost all fear and sing my praise aloud to thee

Kyrie Eleison wipe away my tears
Kyrie Eleison take away my fears
Kyrie Eleison show me the light
Kyrie Eleison take me to salvation this very night

Called to the abbey for breaking my vow
From my cell they have heard the sounds
Of laughter and joy
They demand me to explain my crimes and repent
I fall to my knees and refuse to recant
Atop of my lungs I scream to thee


Kyrie Eleison wipe away my tears
Kyrie Eleison take away my fears
Kyrie Eleison show me the light
Kyrie Eleison take me to salvation this very night

Tied to the stake they set it alight
The fire licks at my body
but my soul has departed to thee this night
At last we will be united in thy kingdom for all eternity

Kyrie Eleison wipe away my tears
Kyrie Eleison take away my fears
Kyrie Eleison show me the light
Kyrie Eleison take me to salvation this very night

Asia

Saffron and Sandalwood fill the air before you appear
Ethreal mist a ghoslty kiss touches my lips with a tender sigh
Almond eyes dance in the dark amused at my fear
Love songs in sanskrit caress my ears as you dance across the room
Wake with a jolt eyes open wide
Just in time to see your smile fade into shadows of dusk
