DRAG ME BACK

a poem I wrote to accompany art I made

I was cackling like a maniac when I made this….

Drag me back

For I am the vengeance 

of hell

Star spun directly from 

The wails and woes of the dark moon

Her thick black blood runs in my veins

Her putrid taints of decay engrossed on the flesh of my tongue

Her needle piercing staff dragging 

On every part of skin

Bloodied and cursed by Venus herself

The burn of sun exudes from the 

Six points of my face

Each yellow and red like a rumbling volcano

Drag me back 

For I will mark you

Dragging you to the red-hot cave 

I dwell in

The cave of lust and longing

Burning with the desire

To taste and taint another

So, will you

Drag me back 

And come along 

for the ride?

For you will taste heaven 

for a second 

Before the burn of hell 

is reckoned
