Forces of love

Are there any angels 

Pure celestial beings

Or is there only logic 

And cold philosophy

There was once a demon 

Tore the gods a strip 

So they came down on her 

Best I skip a bit 

Anyway they made her 

Slither as a snake 

Then they burnt her naked 

Man she was remaked

Fire was the seed 

Now she is a woman 

Lineal indeed ... 

She built a faerie palace 

lived there with her lover

Every sensual pleasure 

Divinity on draft 

Purple beaded bubbles 

Winking at the brim 

Served by fauns and faeries

Alert to every whim

Attended their caprice 

Lucius and his Lamia 

All wrent up in tears 

He asked her to marry 

Realized her fears 

‘Twas a mad idea - blin!

She died the very instant 

He bound her 

With a ring 

You cannot chain a demon 

To calculus within 

Temporal lightning caught her 

Slashed and scored her meat 

Lo the bier is dented 

Wrap her in a sheet 

Transport her back to Crete 

faerie palace lies empty 

Love was her defeat

The demon snake 

Lamia whore

Enemy of Zeuss 

Burnt offering Hermes 

Tritons poured 

Pearls at your feet 

Though you made 

Invisible the nymph 

You could not slake

Your heart’s longing 

There aren’t any angels 

Pure celestial beings 

There is only logic 

coldness in our veins.
