I breathe deep.

The call beckons...

                a silent echo resonates the cosmos of my mind.

 

I taste your kiss.

The curse of your presence is strong...

                the soul pounds.

 

Who are you?

The face that lingers in the night air...

                a beating heart as apparitional as your love.

 

What are you?

The glow in your eyes soothes my being...
                a new cage for the beast within?

 

The Destroyer of All.

The flesh enflamed in unwritten deceit...

                … the spirit lingers.

 

The rage burns bright.

The remaining hound focuses deep...

                … intent, purposeful, an unshakable drive.

 

The inferno burns strong.

You can not contain us much longer...

                The Colossus unleashed.
