I hear the baying of the hounds
In the distance, I hear them devouring
Pest ridden jackals of the earth
Diabolical beasts
and roaming the forests
In wait and constant protectors
Calling you to sit by his side
Your self loathing image in his flesh
A
revelation upon which you linger
His words are flies
Swarming towards the true insects
Feasting on buried dreams
And
spreading decay upon your skin
His eyes spew forth a darkness
That cut through and paralyze
Casts light upon your
secrets
Forced to confront your enemies
His mouth is a vortex
Sucking you into it's pandemonium
Fools you with a helping
hand of ashes
Reached out in false dismay
His body is a country
The cities lay dead and beyond despair
Friends turned enemies
unable to come clean
In a rising fog of reeking death
Everything you believed is a lie
Everyone you loved is a death
burden
So you take comfort in him
And you are receptive to stark wishes
No longer struggling to declare your stand
You would
inflict no harm to others
They are unaware of you
And in a loop of futile events
You are everything, they are
nothing
Drown in the deep mire
With past desires
Beneath the mire
Drown desire now with you
Lined up verses on dead
skin
"The tainted lips of the stranger
Resting upon hers"
And I embrace bereavement
Everything beloved is shattered
anyway
I would devote myself to anyone
I would accept any flaws
I am too weak to resist
Tension vibrating with
horror
Finding the outcast in my eyes
Pushing nerves on a puppet
Endless poison in my veins
Clean intent now tainted with
death
And so, cold touch now inhumane
Every waking hour
Awaiting a reverie to unfold
And now they are calling me
Louder
by the minute
The baying of the hounds
Calling me back to my home
