Max Corvus Tenebrus Poems

In the land far away, many years ago,
Lived a gorgeous woman, black from top to toes,
To her castle dark and high, in my days of yore,
I used to come and sing to her Le Chanson d'amour.
...

Oh how your hair is black my love,
Like the late nocturnal sky,
And your eyes are emerald green,
I shall never let them cry.
...

I know there is a place,
Beyond the gates of Hell,
Where the night is eternal,
Where it is, no one can tell.
...

Tears of blood are falling tonight,
On my wooden table,
To tell you why I'm cursed by sorrow,
I am neither brave nor able...
...

My little love, my princess of the night!
Your red crown shines with the sparkling light,
And a twinkle in your black eyes gives me delight,
I can not resist relishing this unholy sight.
...

The sorrow congeals around me,
And in chains of tears it binds me,
Neither verse nor a poem consoles me,
Just your smile brings sweet pain on me,
...

I have lost every chance,
Of holding you in my embrace,
World is not a beautiful place,
Life is not a cheep romance.
...

In this place so dammed and haunted,
In this moment sweet and wanted,
In my darkness I have shivered,
By your eyes that have glimmered.
...

I can cry a million tears,
I can wait a thousand years,
I can suffer whole world's pain,
Even until I grow insane,
...

Sorrows like razors pierce into my heart,
Loneliness like a shadow comes over my soul,
Memories, like carcases are slowly rotting apart,
Malevolence in me cannot stop or come to a halt.
...
