August Hangs

I'm off to hopefully get some relief from this hellish Southern MD weather. I'll open comments back up when (if!) I return.

Wolves

source

Hold me tight

I hear the wolves at my door

Please don't leave me alone now

I do not have the strength to fight

I hear the wolves at my door

I knew they would come for me

But do not have the strength to fight

I am depleted

I knew they would come for me

Strong seeks out strong

But I am depleted

From taming your monsters

Strong seeks out strong

So I will face the fangs

Tamed, your monsters

Sleep now

I will face the fangs

But please don't leave me alone

Sleep now, but

Hold me tight.

Kiss Mor Chiks

Maybe She Will

image by Zelko Nedic

She comes to me in dreams real as Earth

Divine succubus

Her silken wings become my blindfold

Her ebony tresses my chains

I, her servant of the midnight,

willingly succumb to her spell

From my mind's mad stirrings

emerges a wild hope

a plea I dare not voice

(Maybe she will stay)

Evil enchantress

She hears my thoughts 

 leaves her calling card-

 black dog with eyes of fire

Now I know that it is I

who will be going soon.
