[beyond] Ashes to Ashes

Toxic beauty, heart beating
to a rhythm of destruction:
with precision and grace
lay waste to reason.

With your gentle smile
that speaks of the end,
captivate the mind;
eviscerate the soul.

Our eyes upturned, we wait
in the face of perfect chaos
to be chosen for glory, for pain,
for your infernal gaze;

make me immortal--
make me something more.
