A Fatal Desire
A longing, like none other
hides deep within
cowering in the shadows
of my subconscious thoughts
Like a black widow
it poisons my dreams
leaving them impure
a deep desire, trapped
Like a predator, it bites
sending waves of ecstasy
throughout my body
bearing forth hot tears
White, silky webs form
in the empty hole
where my heart should be
a deep, dark void
The evil subsides
I stop to smell the roses
darkness is light
then darkness again
The patter of a pulse
steadies in my veins
sending blood back to
my throbbing temples
The darkness succumbs
to the moonbeams
slicing through the emptiness
like a serrated edge knife
I look down at my hands
they are damp
with liquid crimson
like silky,red rose petals
It is then I realize
None of it was a dream
It was reality, like a never-ending movie
in perpetual motion...
