A rill of blood upon my lips
no mem'ry of my sin,
a tingle in my fingertips
frees, that which lurks within

In shadowed night and hallowed hall
at dark or in the day
what lurks within, holds me in thrall
while other souls must pay

By claw and tooth to rend and tear
what dwells within is freed
in those dark times I am not there
though I, on darkness feed

No soul to grieve this senseless lust
no strength to cease or die
I'm driven by the need of must
while in the dark I cry

The dreams of dark now take control
for dreams of lust and greed
free that within, to steal my soul
and I can only bleed

What lurks within grows great in pow'r
for I am lost e'ermore
So lost to self within this hour
in blood pact from before

For willingly I held the door
allowed this thing inside
and now I feel its pow'r and more
I've nowhere left to hide

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

That rill of blood, m'dear...
is flowing in a stream of life now...
and increasing in size
along with your poetry...

Keth...you remain on the grow...
don't stop now!

Lynne, this did have an eerie feeling to it,
but I liked it. It was scary, but a good scary. LOL

Your pen just keeps getting more powerful. *S* This is excellent, lady... even if it wakes what lurks within me. *S*
