THE DARK NIGHT

The shrillness searing me, 
waves running over, no sound 
a black velvet over my soul, 
deepening the lust... 

For the want of red, 
fangs holy bared 
a soothing hoot, 
making flesh tingle... 

Spineless stumps, 
comforting rustle 
footsteps unheard, 
screams singing around... 

A stumble, eerie laugh, 
innocent mind, snared by craft 
Cacklin' hats, roving tail, 
golden blood into the pail... 

Fear sustainance, 
a magic charm, 
to survive in this deadland, 
create a black black heart......
