Huddled grazing at the feet of drunken Gods, imbibed by crimson blasphemes and the lust of lies. Smeared unto the grasses- a darkened hue. onward weighs the pleasantry that binds. The tight flog of a screamless whip. Chaotic lore into peasant skin it rends. A stench rising from cadavers - a carrion feast. As a Ravens coups spur the ilk of ill portents. Ominous lures of the slivered silver moon- echo flashes upon sable black feathers. Speaking in glints against rising wings agape, the unraveled conscience of a God unfettered. To the slaughter willfully go the droves of cancered thought and blinded eye. From whose spoil will feed the starv'ed flock whose flagellation still yield no cries. A Gods stature at which fullest they stand is only dwarfed by the encroaching universe, avast- whose very stars are the moon bound Ravens sprawl pocking the scape against which the ****** dispatched. Cyclical onslaught of the sacrifices come- Inescapable fate beats the drum. And so eclipse the ravens - o’er the moon! their ****** return to the banquet strewn.

A Dionysian Funeral
Huddled grazing at the feet of drunken Gods, imbibed by crimson blasphemes and the lust of lies. Smeared unto the grasses- a darkened hue. onward weighs the pleasantry that binds. The tight flog of a screamless whip. Chaotic lore into peasant skin it rends. A stench rising from cadavers - a carrion feast. As a Ravens coups spur the ilk of ill portents. Ominous lures of the slivered silver moon- echo flashes upon sable black feathers. Speaking in glints against rising wings agape, the unraveled conscience of a God unfettered. To the slaughter willfully go the droves of cancered thought and blinded eye. From whose spoil will feed the starv'ed flock whose flagellation still yield no cries. A Gods stature at which fullest they stand is only dwarfed by the encroaching universe, avast- whose very stars are the moon bound Ravens sprawl pocking the scape against which the ****** dispatched. Cyclical onslaught of the sacrifices come- Inescapable fate beats the drum. And so eclipse the ravens - o’er the moon! their ****** return to the banquet strewn.
A modified sonnet much more akin to my Gothic and Victorian proclivities. Also, who doesn't love a band of maddened/drunken Gods and the slaughter?
