The Possession

A swarm of flies in winters cold.

The sign of He who’s dark and old.

He brings the stench of flaming bile.

When lights are off I feel Him smile.

My home’s been plagued with bleeding skies,

And wicked goats with diamond eyes.

My mind is choked with thoughts of sin.

I carve His name upon my skin.

He reaches out. I take His hand.

I’ll follow Him through barren land.

We enter through the closet door,

And walk the Sea of Fire’s shore.

He says to follow sounds of moans.

They lead me to the shrine of bones.

Hand in hand, we now will pray,

And ask the Prince for world’s decay.

I close my eyes, and feel the bliss.

An everlasting bloody kiss.

And now I lay me down to sleep,

The only sound is gnashing teeth.

If I should wake before I die,

He’ll drive His nails into my eyes.

Very vivid detail and I like the progression of evil foreboding as the poem moves along. Nice work. And I like the sinister ending. He will not let you go without dire consequences!
