Marionetta

From the chthonic chasm, I materialize in sarcophagus Spectral filaments of the netherworld Spiral in a maelstrom around my silhouette Osseous structures fracture contort I ascend from the fecund terra firma A cadaverous marionette oscillates in a morbid gavotte Sole rhapsodic within squirming pas de deux of maggots Serpentine parasites worming through my arteries They convulse in the shadowy alcoves of my psyche A conspiracy of ravens gyrates around my skeletal form They erupt into a macabre tableau of viscera Matter sculpts flesh onto my ossified framework With fervid delight, my vertebral column contorts It assembles a creature of abysmal profundity If you yearn for obscurity, then let this be the umbra Queen summoning the penumbra that engulfs all luminosity Sepulchers fracture and cleave as I resurrect the deceased Symbolic dirges of a Stygian necromancer reverberate in the ether Gravelly chorus of a legion, I orchestrate an abattoir of scythes I reanimate my undead warriors, to be nourished back to life Hamlets and metropolises, we usher a pervasive pestilence The screams, lamentations, lovely death knells decadence Like my sustenance stationary, it’s so much more delectable Muscles weak already tenderized for our feast Unleash the hornets, exterminate the butterflies and bees Pollination halts now, your oxygen gradually will decrease Locusts strip your gardens of nutrients, you no longer can eat Eclipsing storm clouds usher sanguinary rain, rot all the meat Ruby hailstones shatter window panes, claws can creep Each rivulet a larva to burrow inside, thread my strings Puppet to Marionetta’s reign, grotesque waltz to your finale
