Awaiting Deathly Veil

In drained stare
Manacled and bare
Vixens two
Deadened despair

Their victim sits
Punctured and pale
As a last tear falls
Awaiting deathly veil

Living becomes ashen
Her pertness fails
Their darkness glee's
Her soul now sails

Blue black dark
Now haunts her eyes
These naked vixens
Shrieking cries

A body once lived
Her spirits now flown
Another life awaits
Beside the dark ones throne

You know what I love about poetry is that we can all have such different styles, yet each has the capacity to have such a profound effect. Excellent write, dark and intense. Great title too ~ Sharon - thanks a million for all your great comments :)

Oh, quite a trip to the underworld, James. And these vixens can wear many disguises to lure their victims to eternal damnation. Very intense, well-written poetry! Love, Carolyn
