Possessed

In the shadows, whispers rise,
A haunted presence, unseen eyes.

Possessed by spirits, ancient, deep,
Their secrets in my soul do creep.

A dance of darkness, wild and free,
Possession's grip consuming me.

I am a vessel, a sacred shrine,
Where otherworldly powers entwine.

Through me they speak, in words unknown,
A language from a realm far unknown.

I am their conduit, their earthly host,
In their embrace, I am engrossed.

Possessed by muses, fierce and bold,
Their tales by me are bravely told.

Through me, their stories come to life,
Ink spills like blood upon the page,
A timeless tale, a bard’s dark sage.

A poet bound by otherworldly strife.
In this union, a fusion rare,
The poetry of possession, a profound flare.

Embracing the spirits, I let them flow,
In their possession, their verses glow.
