It has emotionally felt like centuries,

Since I was born innocently human,

I now hide inside a carnivorous incarnation,

My cries enrich for the dusk of the fallen night,

Propelled my quickened thoughts for the blood thirst of arousing,tempting delights


I await the sudden frosted witching moon to climb the immortalised sky,

Ambient surroundings as I scatter across the marshes and upon this holy land,

The Hallowed mist shines upon my thickened dark-haired chest,

Town voices I now hear before my sixth sense,

Scattering through the crackling of hedgerows,

Hard rain swamps under my tough blackened paws,


I have crimson visions,

As I hungrily enlarge with an evil looked stance,

The flesh of the innocence with an ornamented stare so pure,

Heaviness upon my galloping claws,

I leap like a shielded canine with a suffocate of a gallant prance,

Tearing upon the nerve twitched limbs,

I tenderise the carcasses of humanity and slither the red raw emptiness of skin,


Shattered bones array cross the muteness of the timid land,

As blood stained dirt washes within my tiresome mouth

Sounds of the metallic horns,alerting my wild animal instincts,

But never scare, I feel the growl within,

I fade into the etched mist with my nocturnal predatory pose,


Mental shadow I left behind,

Scavenging through the twilight of night,

Visions of my crimson clot eyes,

Trembled with fear and stiffness-like froze,

Another feast upon me now,

This time firstly I’ll devour their pulsating toes…..
