The Captor and The Consuming




As you may have known, I've been working with one Sheldon Cary on some musical stylings. I'd like to give you a couple of the scripts for a three-part concept song collection. This also ties in with my Public Speaking assignment, so if you were there, you'll get a deeper look into what I was talking about. Without further ado:

The Captor

I saw her sway from a distance

Her eyes were assaulting mine

And her from longing gaze I saw

She was beauty personified

Her hands tenderly took hold of mine

My spirit within her grasp

She brought her lips up to my ear

Her name in a seductive gasp

“Aphrodite”


“I am your wildest dreams

I am the desires your mind holds

I am the lust that burns your heart

The veil of black that covers your soul”


I had no idea

As I took her hand

My eyes opened wide to

This beautiful filth

That this journey

Would take me to the depths

Of my own depravity


The Consuming

Within a moment she consumed my mind

Her long fingers manipulating my thoughts

She was beauty and terror

Ecstasy and destruction

And she was in control


I never wanted this, Aphrodite

You have revealed your demonic aim

Self-destruction flows forth


My hands shook with fear and desire

As her eyes enticed mine with passion

She was joy with poison

Laced with temptation

I screamed for deliverance


She dragged me down

Again and again

Those beautiful, unfufilling hands

Wrapped around

My eyes held open, the whore

Had scarred my innocence


Just when I was most consumed

Light poured over my soul

Incandescent purity struck with force

Aphrodite wailed in agony


The Lightbringer had come for me

He does not abandon His own

That have abandoned Him
