Their Temporal Moon

A zombie infant serial killer... not much else to say :)

The moon conquered the sun that day, as dreadful darkness came

And the wind surrendered its songs to silence, for screams were his to claim

Then with a sudden spell the moon's aura fell, dim and pale with shame

For it saw his approach invading life, its nemesis smites another flame

 

A brilliant disciple he was, yet to them a rabid freak

Who begrudged life and named death a heaven that all should seek

But of course, who would listen to believe a creed so bleak

That led him to his ruin, with blood pouring from a neck-round creek

 

Unavenged, he was the wisest - or most insane as they would see

The dead's philosophy becomes the reason behind catastrophe

The earth shivered as his sarcophagus cracked to set him free

An abomination disguised, yet one stare did make them flee

 

His face degraded to a blackened skull and with eyes hollow he stared

Involuntarily towards the moonlit starless sky despite a slit throat that glared

With stained blood, drenched on skinned ribs that gasped for air

Exposing a rotten heart pumping slime out of every wound to paint the earth

 

So mucus traced his footsteps that followed rattles of fragile bones

As he left the town of the dead, gracefully skipping lifeless stones

And often he stumbled on intestinal ropes dropping stomach chyme for crows

That accommodated his presence flying along whenever his plagued wind blows

 

Undead, his pace was slow yet his hand was swift

With a thirsty sickle between fingers from which blood dripped

Pure blood, that is, of those who never began to drift

Away from innocence and towards their eternal crypts

 

He came to their window, and stared at that smiling babe

Making this night's decision, the victim of his round blade

So they sang the boy his final lullaby as he closed his eyes of jade

And left him in his cradle, soon to be his grave
