Walking the streets, I see my abode
towering above all in wealth
and power.
My garden lush and trimmed, with greens
and yellows and reds
The smell of fruit drifts through my nose.
Night falls and I stare upon what I have
And it is good.
The moon caresses my face, even that is with me.
And I fall asleep.
I see fire, bursting from my skin
Erupting in my heart and my soul rips from me.
My bed is drenched, as am I.
Endless night crying myself to sleep,
I feel the pain over and over
again,
It doesn't fade it doesn’t end, under
my skin.
And then it happens, the shadow, the woman.
Standing
On my balcony, I open the door, she
sees the lust, we embraces, we kiss, her lips move
down my neck.
And the pain.
Oh the pain that the harlot can induce, women, damn them all.
For 40 days I writhe in myself.
Thirst, I am thirsty, I need it quenched.
And she is there, forever at my side.
She grabs me, we embrace, she kisses my neck
Sealing me in.
And we swoop down
down onto the unsuspecting.
Man after man, woman after woman.
We make them blush, feed off the blood that pumps to their flattered
vanity.
She dies, through fire and ice she
falls from my clutches.
I am alone.
Its not the same, everything has changed.
gone.
I hide in my cell, inside
my mind, trapped.
And the raging fire inside my heart sears, too much unbearable.
And in the dead of night
when the chill wind sweeps through the streets
and the cry of children rings through my ears, and the smell of iron
tangs
in my nose
I see her, the girl
Her hair like lush silk that tumbles
down her neck... her neck.
I enter, clutch her thighs.
breathe down her neck,
it would be so easy,
one quick bite
but I stop, kiss her, she feels my touch, warms to it.
I move down her shoulders, brushing her arms,
going down...
down.
and it is something
big.
something more than I have ever felt before.
I cannot kill her
I cannot turn her
make her like me.
and every second I spend
corrupting.
I cannot be around her,
but I cannot leave and one day
she will die.
But a lifetime with her
is worth an eternity and
with her find peace and
redemption. |
