May 2013
Alone in a room of shadows with a bright screen,
my invisible tail twitches in devious interest,
the blackened veil covers my eyes;
There shall be no more light to see tonight.

Claws elongate, tapping rhythmically on a wooden base,
a devil's grin spreading far and wide on my face,
the evil mist of my mind spreading throughout my frail body;
It's not a headache when controlled.

A serpent's tongue licks a fang,
sensing every little creature of prey around,
a hissing chuckle evaporating into the air;
A different nature has demanded dominance.

Strong hands wrap around a tensing throat,
squeezing and releasing with every pitiful patter of a heartbeat,
teasing the poor victim with promises of death and salvation both;
Who dared awaken this beast?
