Devour

By Diabolical Incantations

Ravenous insatiability,
the need to feed.
Scouring the moonlit night
for a soul to bleed.
Tantalized by the scent of sin,
led to the kill.
Corruption to rend from life,
dark blood to spill.

I will swallow your soul,
I will eat you whole,
I have come tonight
to devour.

Cadaverous and inextricable,
fear constricting.
Victim helpless spectator,
assailant inflicting.
Ensanguined soft flesh,
a slow petrification.
Transient euphoria,
blissful fortification.

I will swallow your soul,
I will eat you whole,
I have come tonight
to devour.

I will swallow your soul,
I will eat you whole,
I have come tonight,
I'll swallow your soul.

I like the way it puts the reader in the shoes of a crazed and frenzied beast with an unstoppable need to kill.

A former member wrote: A hunger that can't be reasoned with or rationalised, it's destructive and persistent, just the way I like. This poem had style, nicely done.
A former member wrote: Your rhymes are always so stable and befitting of the darkness, Diabolical Incantations. I really like the first stanza because it best explores the predatory nature of an unfulfilled creature. Love it.
