Sonnet #5- revenge

Upon the midnight sky I venture still

I smell the blood of my enemy fresh

I gaze at the moon, I gaze at the kill

Anathemized by all I want his flesh.


To murder was not my intent in life

I had a family, a girl so dear

She left my world- it filled me with this strife

It was no accident, she left with fear.


My knife in hand to gouge those eyes of lust

Mangle those dirty hands he used to touch

Incise his body, bleed, wither he must

For him to decay, I don't ask for much.


The deed is done but empty do I feel

Sweet revenge is not something that is real.
