The Beast

Desolation desolation
spinning starving
hunger hunger
thirsting thirsting
hopeless dreams
dying dying
dead.

There's a shadow creeping
in the deepest parts of mind
rearing its ugly head to light
in the space between wake and slumber

Haunted haunted
heaving hunting
dark dark
twirling twirling
death is change
quickly quickly
gone.

There's a smile in the depth
eyes aglow in lust
laughing softly against sweet skin
consumption is soon coming

Finished finished
ending eating
power power
laughing laughing
satisfied now
sleeping sleeping
grinning.

There's a body to the shadow now
whole and complete
flexing in ecstasy against the dark
it has arrived.
