Omens To The Altar Of Onyx
John McEntee
Life illuminates Avernus
Feast for the lions of Venus
Shallows hold dead offerings
Crimson descends on harpy wings
Bespattered blood, on black stone
Savaged the sentry has fallen
Sated beast had left him rotten
Stones shower as it was foretold
Visions from the basin of gold
Branched tongue, Juno is ablaze
Raptures fire, in Jupiter’s gaze
Satyr hooves pound with delight
Foul seed drowns in fright
These omens, lead to its return
Now your God, will forever... Burn
