The Lunatic Changeling

The slivery moon passes with hunger great
The darkness I value does sanguine elate

The gibbous moon divulges its sway
The time of sacrifice is a fortnight away

I who was changed by starlight eyes
Shall feed the ravens of flesh's reprise

The grey came once to my cradle cold
To ensorcell the infant with dweomer bold

At once I knew the power so fey
Apart from the treaded path I would stray
Making my own dark way

Cast out as an alien
For my matrons' petty dalliance

Celestial spheres like spiders' orb eyes
Mesmerize like vampiric gaze - soon to rise

The moment is nigh when blood freely flows
The human mortals despair as midnight tolls

Spellbound knelt down and felt the cold obelisk
Bonfire shadow takes form to feed as a great basilisk

the rhyme made the flow very easy... the feel of it was dark, almost eerie yet didn't weigh it down too much... a lot of great images created so effortlessly... well done
