Incubus
The curtains flutter with the breeze
and the night crawls through the windows
a whisper comes, in my ear blows
your ghost walks in and makes me freeze.
your cold breath on my skin lingers,
like a mortuary touch of coldness
you are a demon that wants to possess,
and trace my soul with bony fingers.
an incubus stuck in my blood stream
is your spirit; good and evil taking me
in the shadows you lurk in my dream.
i writhed in pain and make a plea.
you crawl beneath my craving desire
i wanted you before. i invoked thee
now you burn me in the lustful fire
i want you away. please set me free.
darkness envelopes the endless night
you take my body with violence
you bite my flesh making me light
to then fall into your sweet presence.
i dream of dark pits and gloomy places
heaven seems so damned far away
dark angels lift me and i sway
nauseous the instant. my heart beat races.
you chase my soul and cornered me
my bed has become your sanctuary
you come and go and leave me dead
and make me drink your bloody mead.
i'm drunk in your forbidden passion
The night seems to find no end.
your body is on me, delightful blend.
as you take me in with no compassion.
i cry tears my pillow dampening
i pray and endless hymn of sorrow
my soul had left my body scampering
to get the sun and bring the morrow.
i am marked with the beast number
thy claws deep in my skin left your traces
every inch of me, leaving no spaces
between my flesh and soul you plunder.
my soul came back bringing the sun light.
you're gone. everything now is bright.
