The red lips of the octopus
Are more than myriad stars of night.
The great beast writhes in fiercer form than thirsty stallions amorous
I would they clung to me and stung. I would they quenched me with delight.
The red lips of the octopus.
They reek with poison of the sea
Scarlet and hot and languorous
My skin drinks in their slaver warm, my sweats his wrapt embrace excite
The heavy sea rolls languishly o’er the ensanguined kiss of us.
We strain and strive, we die for love. We linger in the lusty fight
We agonize; our club becomes more cruel and more murderous.
My passion splashes out at last. Ah! with what ecstasy I bite
The red lips of the octopus.
Since I want to do a bit more illustration here and there, and play more with my creative side, I should start posting little snippets and drawings more often. How do you like this idea?

Yes a great idea! This is wonderful! 🙂
I love this.

love this idea!
Yes! Love this! Not only the artwork (which is awesome), but the fact that you’re featuring Crowley too. Very cool x
I love it, so beautiful. I think it’s perfect & I’d like to see them as often as you do them. Here and there, so you don’t get strained for ideas, but I love it!! Super super :)))) x
[…] Like any proper goth, the “Great Beast” was once a romantic young student. After a love affair with a female impersonator ended in a bad breakup, Crowley, with no Smiths records or tubs of Ben and Jerry’s at his disposal, turned to the written word to ease his pain. This is where his life turned decidedly My Chemical Romance. Titles include Love me or leave me, Your love is light, and I, who am dying for thy kiss. There’s even a tome comparing his love to an octopus: […]
