"Your Cries Are My Delight"

What could be more tantalizing than…sweet nightmares
The kind that make you scream and scream…and no one comes to save you.

Behind your eyes- I dance a fright….And whisper til you cry…
Oh sweet, sweet lullabies…your cries are my delight.

A brush of faint and haunting tales…
Flow within your sight…I make them come and go…until you can take no more.

Then I still won’t let you go…

Encrypting horror until you shatter…
Fragmented elements…scattered to bits

Filling your body with what feels like stone,
Weighing you down, leaving you …motionless…

I creep… I creep along your veins and distort your sensations
I make your eyes flutter with fear and your mind, I leave clear…
So you can taste and hear…and even smell my wretched sins…creep along your skin

Inside you- I can hear your every word, cry, tear…fear…
All you Possess…All- I Possess…

For you will become one of “my” many masterpieces…

Punctured into another dimension of comatose wounded souls
Bleeding your mind…black, as a ravens blood…
Leaving behind a trail for the wicked ones…

Follow me there to that little shop of horror…

No need for scars or external pain
Your internal self…will never be the same…
I will put you to rest…behind a fake facade
You cannot reach out to those who treat you
But you can comprehend all they ask and do…

I have immobilized you…

I creep…I creep along your veins and distort your sensations…
My sins seep into your every thought…you are all I possess…
We…we have become one

Tantalizing…sweet nightmares…
Your cries are my delight…
Hush little baby?

Cry…cry , cry all night…
For this is the night-I rob you of your life…
Breathe and sing …sing for me…
A sound so sweet…

As your body becomes a part of me…
Sleep, sleep?

Your nightmares from here on are never-ending…
Goodnight raven…goodnight
Your cries are my delight….

This one blew me away. Great imagery in
a eerie sort of way, like shades of Poe
this takes on a life of its own...Well done..
