A SONG FOR SEPTEMBER

It's the rains that greeted the early start of this month. Grey days and wet cold mornings. What can I say...

A recurring set of dreams kept reappearing in my solemn sleep. Due to that, lately my sleep has already become disturbed. The dreams seem to be poignant and live. It's like there could be a message that's to be sent out to me; telling me something. I pondered about it for a second, at the edge of my bed.

Then, it need not be a prolonged wonder for me. In immediate recourse, 'the message' proved itself upon me. There today I see it. The 'it' was waiting at the corner, for me to see 'it'. Hahahahah! So that was 'it'.

Wasn't any need for a discourse there. An instant play in a second. Still, only one of the 'it' has appeared. One other 'stone in my shoe' has yet to make its comeback in another one second of play. Ah - the ghosts of christmas past coming back at weird places and weird timings. Never they come in guise, they are like dark clouding smoke which creeps back to me. For what God will give, HE gives. WASSALAM.

Nymphetamine - CRADLE OF FILTH

" Lead to the river (la femme)
Midsummer, I waved
A 'V' of black swans
On with hope to the grave
All through Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again

Bared on your tomb (la femme)
I am a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your lowliness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, is vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

Wracked with your charm
I am circled like prey
Back in the forest
Where whispers persuade
More sugar trails
More white lady laid
Than pillars of salt

Fold to my arms (la femme)
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance to the moon
As we did in those golden days

Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay

Bared on your tomb (la femme)
I am a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the bind of your holiness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, is vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
None better
Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl "
