Repast

Terror!!  Heart slamming walls of chest!
Blood surging, forcing, wake!
Cemented weight, gluing lids!
Fear aiding act of will.  Open!!

Paralyzed with open eyes!
Sweat mixed with tears.
Kaleidoscope gaze,
upon shadowed night.

Moon from open window,
hard to bring into focus.
Cause !! Its not the moon!!
But an ethereal beauty ??

Oh sweet lady drifting on this night.
The moon dost hold thy visage close.
Thy features {oh god please no!!}
for no other mayst I now love!

Cloaked in hazy foils of light.
Suspended, motionless,
in the void of everlasting dark.
Breath, faint whispers, too long denied.

Bloodless perfection, cupid lips.
Touch, sear!  My naked neck.
Warmth flees me now away.
Draining to this delicate flower.

As She pulls so slow away.....
Lips blushing from this blood of mine.
Life I've given goes its way.....
Love I've given crushed, slain.

Death is felt stepping forward
as my lady through window melts.
To be a meal, ones repast.....
Death to such, is such a friend....
