The beautiful seraph of darkness
Fallen from heaven's clutches
Oblivious to the powers above her
Knowing only pain and sin
The depths of hell surround her
She's deep in the Devil's grasp
He's chosen her as his lover
Poisoning her with his icy kiss
And he's tasting the tears
That run down her cheeks
Something is missing
But she doesn't know what
He whispers haunting lullabys
Softly in her ears
She's become the Devil's whore
Her image has changed
The sweet innocence is gone
No longer to be found
He lets her become a goddess
The goddess of the graveyard
Her fatal beauty shows upon
All those who meet her eyes
Her poisonous gaze is tempting
And the Devil knows she's all his
Kissing her icy lips
Becoming more of the necrophiliac
That he already was
And he gives her roses...
Red roses for the Devil's whore...
Author notes
Ack. Bad. Oh well. I tried, I really did. Inspired both by the picture and the song "Gothic Romance (Red Roses for the Devil's Whore)" by Cradle of Filth. Yes, the last line is simply the title of the song. Sorry if that's illegal on here or something.

Now that is true gothic poetry right there. The imagery was fantastic, and you can never have to many "devil's whores" in a poem. And I like how you go from one to the other, his icy lips and then hers, how he's infected her with his coldness. Nice touch. Great work on your site, but I liked this one most.

Not a problem, steph. I thought it might be kind of interesting. It was inspired from the song "A Gothic Romance (Red Roses for the Devil's Whore)" by Cradle of Filth and the picture kind of helped. Thanks for your comment.

awesome
You see this is the way i feel about the relationship a devil and his mistress has. Or her which ever fits the purpose. This is a wonderful write and I have truly enjoyed this. I am very proud to have been given the oppertunity to read such wonderful words. I am a very sadistic person and this fit my appitite. I am hoping that you will join my contest when it goes up. I am inviting all i see fit. Thank you for the view into your thoughts.
