Oblivion

Grady McMurtry

4 December 1943

Oh sweet adultrous harlot of the skies

I yearn to thee with heart of burning fire

And pray that I might lie between thy thighs

To find in one mad, all consuming quire

The passion promised in thy tender eyes.

That I might find, oh sweet incestrous one

The flame uniting heart to soul and mind

And having found this love of two and none

Cast off the shell that maketh mankind blind

Unto the glory of the dawning sun.

And having found my rapture in thy kiss

Oh daughter of the evening’s purple charms

To know the beauty, and the carnal bliss

Of total dissolution in thine arms

My Babalon. Veiled by the dread abyss.
