cursed

fighting back silent triumph
no one believed but here i stand
ready to tear down the door
break this seal and damn the gods
four thousand years of dust swept away
to an instant before
and now here i am
ready
blow after blow it takes
yet the door succumbs to my will
through its shattered remains
stagger i to find
her
sealed away for all time
well time is nigh...
strength i never knew
i sweep the lid from the sarcophagi
hair of midnight sheen
floated free of the wrappings
i near to weep from shape revealed
under torch this fire i need
for me to see
all of her
perfect
free
must i see
i find my hands now of their own
tearing loose linen strips
with my need
strange but i found it not so
only this hunger that drives
me
skin..... not dust or dehydrated remains
but true... soft .... flesh
and a part of me knows im madd
but soft living flesh meets my gaze
i stopped ready to run
with fear i found i reeked
but i had to
i had ... to...
see...
a gasp that was not of mine
her rib cage rose
fell to rise again
now with a will i fell to the wraps
tearing them all free
what evil might be loosed
was never a thought
as i stood before
as she stood before
my perfection
my grace
my heart
my  very soul
forever hers
as i knelt before
to allow her to drink her fill
of my life
.....
and where now is he
throaty chuckle
here i tap my chest
his heart was and is now...
forever...
mine!
