Slaying the Beast Across the Path

Standing on the path in the full moon light,
Negative shape, blood red eyes, and
the moonlight glitters on razorblade teeth!

The pool reflects the moon, oh glorious.
So close, yet so far....A chasm of darkness and
dreams shattered along side the path!

I must, I must....draw my pen as sword,
to slay the beast with word power and
remove the mark of Kain upon my head!

Yog-Soggoth, Abrahadabra....bool!
Whispered incantations, burning a book of blood and
blowing away the ashes of blocked inspiration!

Into the fray.....Black ink, an arterial spray!
Scattered pieces of preditor, litter the path and
black ichor soaks the ground upon which I tread!

My bloody footprints, lead to the pool.......
So cool, tranquil, the sun breaks the horizon and
the light floods my mind with coherent thought anew!

Hail, Hail my Victory!! Beginning to feel whole again!
