Swallowed by the Howls

The poetry of the dark
Clandestine stars wink veiled of shadow
Wind moans, howls in pleasure
Entwined among the devious waves

Nightmare’s ever present
Gnashing maw red with lust
Delicious laughter painted in sanguine reds and blacks…
No star can expel this tarnish

Unsettling, like icy water beneath the skull
A face takes shape leering, dark yellow eyes
Ghastly voice breaks the empty plane…
Swallowed by the howls…
