Ryan Gayagay Poet Rhyme

Incubus

I felt his weight on top of me;
I tried to move and wriggle free.
He had me pinned I couldn’t breathe,
Too weak, I couldn’t help but seethe.

His face I could not see because
His hands pressed on my eyes like paws.
All I perceived was his dark form
As he his evil deed perform.

Hot tears welled up, flowed down my cheeks
In long and crooked violent streaks
But still this savage beast from Hell
No soft entreaties can repel.

And so I silently gave up,
And yield as he with malice sup;
My head was filled with muffled scream,
I prayed that all was but a dream.
