Lilith, Finale MoonZenith swirls of black rose petals,
burst into a flock of circling crows,
descending ash and rain on my frozen form.

as the monstrous cadence,
of the rhinoceros' stride reverberates,

their sinuous silhouettes fabric of nightmares, tearing sinew from skeleton,
swifter than...

Calls My NameThe orb calls to me, beckons breast beat,
blood in veins permeates, face red with heat,
as I asphyxiate, am dominated, reach climax.
Each time lustful, more powerful, sensual.

addicted to...
