(DARK ANGEL’S WEB is a dark fantasy, gothic, paranormal and steampunk fairy tale with a young adult protagonist.)
Christabel, my love,
Father was so cruel to you.
Dead before your time,
You are lost, but not forgotten.
~
I would die for you,
And so I have …
Poisoned by my own hand,
Into the dark angel’s web.
~
Soul drowning, you lie dreaming,
Locked in a cold black cradle,
Beloved of the spider-gods.
Pale shadow-dolls feast upon you.
~
By blade, by danse, by mandrake brew,
The Steam-Lords all shall bow to me.
Any Lord who dares my path, I will snare
With poison kiss, with twisted skein.
~
Hand in hand, in never-end,
Eyes lifted to the underworld,
We lie dead and dreaming.
Entangled, we are one …
Into the dark angel’s web.
~
No black Rapture, nor treachery,
No wicked goddess nor fallen King
Could ever keep me from you.
Death? Oh, my love.
This is only the beginning.
~
Ever falling, netherworld of Embris,
Into the dark angel’s web.
Dream sweetly, darkly, sister …
I will find you.
