DEATH Poem: Black Wings, by Lori Zybala

the alluring shadows thread upon the ceiling
sensuous shape welcoming / temptation reeling

aura – transcended / heart rapidly pounding
dialect of desire / vibrates the surroundings

blue vein pulses, clenching his brain
supernatural vision / are you going insane?

primordial deity / seduction angel of doom
vortex apparition, twice circles the room

passion wings quiver – whispering; “What is your name?”
allurement deployed to outsmart / seduction clamps the heart

bedchamber adversary / destroyer of good
power thrives in the darkness, manipulator of manhood
…
antagonistic force, created to collide
rhelm battle impending hold tight
steel heart protection / dark wing -force fight

fact or fiction / dreaming or dead?
room rotating rapidly, paralyzed in the ivory bed

visions – hallucinations, mind matter restraints
darkness into morning / day into night

Will the body surrender and the revelry end?

suddenly! – deep sorrow infiltrates blinding
a jewel of evil’s blow
east – south – north – west
nine month alters life’s flow

Circling entity pivots
Black wing captured defeated
Prophecy eyewitness, a seventh seal rapture
silently lying in the ivory bed
