A Moment of Weakness (or Dark Womb)A Poem by shadow_flameThis is another morbid piece, what I did one night several years ago instead of selling my soul or worshipping the Devil or whatever.
A moment of Weakness (or Dark Womb)
A moment of weakness calls out from the depths
To extinguish the candles and put out my fire
Its wind speaks my name with a bitter caress
And my flesh is scraped as I writhe and plead
My thoughts flash to a life all crimson and violent
Where I am a witch and my mouth whispers “Satan”
My veins bleed in worship, as all skin tears
A w***e to the ecstasy of demonic rage
And splendor I crave, at this moment I breathe
My soul tainted and rotten, wanting to plummet
My lips want to supplicate to the adversary’s name
My frame would bend willingly at his unholy gate
With my cross in hand, I clutch it and pray
“God help me!” Why do I want this? I wonder, then weep
For awhile the cloud lifts, a few moments of peace
But the darkness reenters, still I hear not God’s voice
Again I want Hell, the ecstasy of Samael, I want to descend
The desires of my would-be Master invade my every pore
I feel the need for Satan to pluck out my screaming soul
For him to rape me upon the Communion table, bleeding
And underneath the Messiah’s cross to spite Him
A sacrifice to blast sacrifice in a torrent of blasphemy
In my weak and withered state I want to beg for damnation
And still, I sit within a flood of dim light, as I continue
To mutter prayers I only partly want to say, forgive me
But in truth the light remains, I kneel not toward Hell
To worship the Thief’s sinister ways, I write
Instead groaning out my blood in this way, drowning
Releasing the words I could have said to my adversary
“Come to me Unholy One and speak to me
Always you are with me, never have I sensed you leave
Come upon me, flood my soul with your words
As God so rarely does
Breathe your cold into me
Pour in your bloody, rancid fire
I’ve long known the touch of your Fallen
The shadowy blistering of their wings on my carcass
As I’ve tried to find my rest they’ve fed on me
I’ve hated you for so long
But fill me with your words and show me
That you hang me still
I want your serpentine scriptures, my Master.
I want the damnation of your eternal death.”
But I have not descended to the dark womb to speak
Nor will I, yet what would have been the haunting reply?
Still wondering on bleak desires… no wonder I hate myself…
