An Early Peek at DEATH AND LILLIES: Mistress Moon (Patreon)

The Moon Smolders at its peak

The beams reflection

A burning shriek

That fills my soul with purpose still

The ancient blood within me thrills

Delights as I bask in it’s gaze

My lady, she knows all the ways

To reach downward from on high

Dropping daggers from the sky

To which I catch between thigh teeth

Twin canines clutch an acting sheathe

Once delicate amber hues

of humanity tried and  true

Twist and turn, as if to scorn

The idea they implanted, since I was born

An orange like the dusk’s arise

Shredding every human lie

That once held my beast at bay

And now I am the only way

How I was when cast from light

And all those cries together unite

To push me from the grace once held

And as I plummet, I remember well

Of one truth, to fight is nigh

That in the end, the light will lie

And all that remains is the call she croaks

To poke thine belly, the coals she stokes

Of the flame once burning in my core

To arise from the darkness evermore

I am

What I always have been

What you made me

Your greatest sin

The thing that bumps beneath your bed

As you clutch the sheets above your head

And as my sweet moon grins through your window

My talon, about your ankle, drags you below
