laughter bubbles through a welcome intrusion
interrupting the silence, piercing a rabid hole
madness creeps in putting forth a weary arm
enveloping the wasted mind of the forlorn
clawing at minds eye, a single tear
sheds unto mangled wisps of crimson dreams
shaking with malevolence, evil oozes poison
staining debris filled minds of the sanguine
crazed with blood lust my shivering fingers
haltingly strum my apparel of dementia and spite;
carried away hypnotized by the dance of incubus
I ride the depravity with a tattered pride...
