This morbid clan is a bore
where each moonrise
pales into the next
and the sweet suckling
that once aroused
my darkling core
begins to sound
like drunken sex
No answers found,
only necks and wrists
of those uninnocents
jailed by daylight's dogma
'Til my lips trail Erebus
to their souls
drenching careful worlds
in red bliss
as hands grasp,
then still upon my breast
My only redemption in
the silver climax
of Death shivers
But this immortal clique
lack the inspiration
of graveyard dirt
with their slim talons
and savage glee
and dusty black mantles
to guard their prey
They've forgotten
what Wicked really is,
content in myth
While I rise
all luminous skin
craving sustenance
for the wild that swims
inside dire thirst
Before pulse dims,
my image dances
in cursed mirrors
of mortal desire.
