Glorious Anubis
The crowned Jackal of Death
I have willingly entered your realm
I call upon you to collect my soul
Lead the way to afterlife
So I may join
the eternals
Rest in Osiris embrace
Free of suffering
Free of earthly burdens
Trials and tribulations
May pass under your fair judgment
Hear my prayer
O’ Glorious one
O’ Sacred Lord of Death
I will be reborn
In your image
Maxwell O’Reilly
Crowned by flames
Firstborn of the Titans
Bestow your grace on my song
You who tend the hearth
Warm my freezing heart
pursued by the gods
You swore to remain a maiden
You preside over the sacrifice
Will you accept my offering?
libation of wine
First and last
Pour your sweet wine
unto my cold lips
In a sweet kiss Divine
Soft oil dripping from your golden locks
To stoke my flames
My desire
Sweet Hestia,
You who tend the fires in my heart
Come and dwell in my temple
Be my glorious goddess
I will worship you forever
Fires crackling between your fingers
Had scorched my heart
I pine for every kiss
Every touch
Our bodies entwined
Your flames coursing through my veins
Your love is my every heart beat
In every breath
I have walked this earth
Deathless
Forlorn
I will be the sacrifice you desire
Instead of the sacred wine
I will pour my blood
Until you are satisfied
Until you are maiden no more
Until the hearth in my heart
Is your eternal flame
The look in her eyes
Wild, even Feral
Intoxicating
Her name was a mystery
That covered the distance
A binding oath for eternity
Her hair was carved from the clouds
Fluttering in the morning sun
Like a bird Like a butterfly
The color of her lips was the rose
Against the desert sand
She is the spirit of a goddess
Incarnated
She is the mirage that keeps you thirsty
Until you reach the oasis of her lips
It is death Slow and agonizing
Thirst for a heavenly river
That flows from her eyes
Teardrops of magic
River Styx
The boundary between life and the underworld
I became stranded
When you dipped me in the river
To become invulnerable
Like Achilles
You were holding my heart
In your hands
It became my weakness
My death
Styx
I do not have the silver coin
To pay your ferryman Charon
To cross to the afterlife and beyond
Instead I will pay your toll
With my heart
Tear it from chest offer it to your ferryman
A token to be displayed at your temple
Your victory will be complete
My fate, dismal
Styx
Accept my offering
The crimson jewel
Let me cross to your kingdom
Have mercy on my shattered soul
Paris had shot his arrows
Into my heart
And like Achilles
I will swim to be reborn
Only to love you again
Maxwell O’Reilly
The world became fire
It burned
Colors of dead flame
Smokeless
Vengeance looms
I am one with the darkness
My dying howl shattered
Ebb and flow of my breath
The moon waned
and night waxed until the
Next bleak sunrise
My soundless scream
for salvation
Suffering ended
with suffocation
My breath froze in my lung
There is no greater curse
than memory
Even a dream
would wake the monster
Lion of the night
His mane ablaze
The night stirs
Walls close in like a tomb
The monster rises
End my misery
Snuff out the flames
The lion roars
Triumph sizzled in my veins
Bleeding into the night
Raining death from the sky
I have summoned darkness
Now it is time to summon the light
The world came undone
Will it ever survive the apocalypse?
Maxwell O'Reilly
I am winged fury
A nameless warrior
Phantom beneath the moon
Darkness is my destiny
Suffering is my fate
Allegiance is my downfall
Somewhere among the clouds
I fly above the storm
Where the sun
Is afraid to glimpse
Lips Colorless from the cold
My freedom beneath the sun
A promise of the hunt
I am the scream of the Eagle
The roar of the lion
The howl of the wind
In my wings
The currents lift me higher
To touch the Sun
I am a nameless star
In a burning constellation
Where love and hate
Are waste of breath
The only truth
Is Death
Maxwell O’Reilly
Rogue golden curls
Unfurl on my face
The kiss of the sun
On my pale cheeks
Tendrils of pain
In my wake
Arrows whizzed for my heart
Death stole my last breath
I became a ghost
Fearless
I soared above the clouds
Dreamless
No,
I will defy the blazing sun
Ride its beams
I will defy the raging seas
Wrestle with the waves
I will defy the mountains
Nest in its peaks
I will defy fate
Choose my own destiny
The Beast lies still
Heavy silence of a tomb
Mirage across the barren sea
A glimmer of tears
No end to death around me
Phantom hourglass
Setting the time
Black wisps unfurled
Smokeless fire
Sphere of light
Swallowed me whole
Wounds full of love
And the skies fall
Crucified
Yet alone
I stand fearless
Maxwell O’Reilly
