I feel it writhe
Beneath the sheets
.
writhe again
ride again
writhe again
ride again
writhe again
ride again
writhe again
.
I feel it writhe
Beneath the sheets
Know well the kind
Of heat it seeks
Serpentine
It slinks
It coils
Purging ink
To reap its spoils
.
Squirming
Surging
Lurching
Scourging
Urging forth
All force converging
Merging with the flesh
Meshed to attest
Each undressed breath
Insurgent
Verging on insane
The pain is less inflamed
When entertained
Untamed is the beast
Which creeps with fleet
Through labyrinthine veins
.
Locked within unblinking gaze
Powerless to shrink away
Know not what to think or say
And ignorance is bliss
.
writhe again
(writhe again)
ride again
(ride again)
writhe again
(writhe again)
ride again
(ride again)
writhe again
(writhe again)
ride again
(ride again)
writhe again
(It slinks
It coils)
.
I feel it writhe
Beneath the sheets
Know well the kind
Of heat it seeks
Serpentine
It slinks
It coils
Purging ink
To reap its spoils
.
My pale lips purse
To lift the curse
And peek beneath its veil
Inhale the stale air
Thus declare allegiance to prevail
Bleed it into every sinew
Feel malfeasance discontinue
Herein to congeal the tissue
Gripping blackened lung
.
Locked within unblinking gaze
Powerless to shrink away
Know not what to think or say
And ignorance is bliss
Even in this shrinking space
I feel relieved to drink the taste
Sourness of its sweet embrace
The flowers in its kiss
The flowers in its kiss
The flowers in its kiss
Sourness of its sweet embrace
The flowers in its kiss
(It slinks
It coils)
.

I feel it writhe

Beneath the sheets
(Beneath the sheets)
Know well the kind
(Know well the kind)
Of heat it seeks

Serpentine
(Serpentine)
It slinks

Purging ink
(Purging ink)
To reap its spoils
(To reap its spoils)
.
I scale the rungs
To height of bane
Introduce the light again
All terrain
To cauterize
While saucer eyes
Delight again
Blighted air exhale
As I breathe frailty back to life again
Then wait until the dead of night
To writhe again
.

Rise again)
Sourness of its sweet embrace

The flowers in its kiss
