                    The mood is upon me.
                    Fighting its grasp,
                    is mere futility;
                    feeding its thirst,
                    by my very throes.
                    Jealousy, gloom, bitterness
                    swirling in my head,
                    dizzying me deliciously.
                    An occasional focus,
                    to allow a cobra strike,
                    and relishing the sting,
                    I've visited upon you.
                    Your words are meaningless,
                    your assertions useless.
                    No one can stand,
                    against me now.
                    Because the mood is upon me.
                    Hateful, spiteful assaults,
                    my locquacious daggers
                    dropping you, lifeless,
                    and I gloat sadly
                    over my fallen prey.
                    Subjugation of spite,
                    to allow brief light,
                    golden, shimmering light,
                    to touch my mind.
                    Only to wrap itself
                    inside, safely away.
                    For the mood is upon me.
                    Stolen thoughts of joy,
                    replaced by dreams.
                    Bloody in their vehemence,
                    the slaughter of innocence,
                    the destruction of youth,
                    the feel of my hand,
                    gripping your slowing heart,
                    in its icy metal clutch.
                    Smiling, eye to eye,
                    I squeeze the essence,
                    from your paling soul,
                    for no reason other than,
                    the mood is upon me.


Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.

Bravo JP, very powerful work. I loved the idea of "loquacious daggers". There shouldn't be a "c" before the "q" though
