I Prey

A court of shadows dance within
The edges of my sight
And whisper lover's promises
More dark than any night

A feather's touch of moonlight shifts
The taunting wraiths apart
And with a chill caress ignites
A flame within my heart

A twisting void of hunger bids
Me seek the sweetest kiss
Of crimson life to saturate
My soul with fevered bliss

And though the man within me pleads
Unto this path don't stray
The creature urges teasingly
Of me please do I prey
