Obsidian eyes
They‘re watching you…
Leering through the thicket of the pitch
Obsidian eyes roving sharply on the edge
Of threshold shadow breaks
They’re waiting for you…
With grins, burning onyx eyes into ember
Twisting obsessions on the verge
Further crawling out within the eves
They want you…
And eclipsing stygian devours mazarine
Your beauty shrouds upon the senseless run
Silences echoing as you scream
And you are theirs…
A pinch of desperation, plucked from thin air...lost
And thus the blackened pot, iron cauldron of the damned
Offers up another meal, to the spirit of twilight’s lust
...And noone knows you were ever there
