Sta.sh
Silhouettes of scarlet whisper
among the bones..
Forsaken beneath earth and stone, I am
bejeweled in the River's dread
Trees clad in sanguine
salivate in the abyss of sorrow
The perfume of blood seduces the sky
— incantations of the netherworld
Ebon ghosts shimmer in falling ash,
where love decays evermore
I undress in the lust of darkness; my soul
bequeathed to oblivion seeds the wind
with poisoned tongue flickering
Upon banks of obsidian I gaze
haunted in a tempest of necromancy
I render my ache in shadow-fire,
— deep in the dark flow
Behold! The River Acheron!
In the syrup of dreams
crimson fields burn in my eye
Bleeding in the silence of dark ether,
I seek your lips..
The song of afterlife covets our love
Kisses blush upon a blade of rusted steel
Corvid screams bathe in Death's lullaby
Vistas of requiem caress our flesh,
as the River seethes deep in my veins
Unto my brethren do I bask —
among black wings wicked n' dreary
Like pitch cast over hallowed waters,
we feast in the primeval wine
of dead-love befallen
Ravenous shadows slither
Beyond the realm of the supernatural —
treasures of eudemon lore bespeak!
I am the elixir of sacrifice
— drink me deep..
Translucent in bloodscapes,
my thoughts ebb in dark solitude
Talons weave thru the ink of night
into the spice of Acheronian mists
Elegiac hues weep in the trees
as blood drips from the vine of love
Hallucinogenic thorns beckon our kiss
In the wilderness of crimson rain
I will embrace you
Brooding in gothic ambiance, Angels
of death make haste
Seek you me in the River's dread
and sail in the eternal rapture
of my dead soul
Betwixt worlds Hadean spirits sojourn
Where dark dreams rain and flow —
forever the Crows bleed..

very closely to the 'River Acheron' another trilogy - the final
yet to be finished.
I brooded over this for ages before I posted it.
Always it's a surprise to me how many like my dark scribes!
Much appreciate the feature too
