Rapture At My Gate

This sudden urge I've come to feel is 
rapture at my gate
Not more on sudden than is subtle but 
weary of this spate
Thoughts of dreams, realities obscene 
and too depraved
Quite more on nightmares than dwelt 
dreams  yet dark and highly craved

Consumes my mind on vulture plains 
devouring to ensnare
Despising law and hearts thereof 
perpetuating air
Loosed in my twisted reasoning twisted 
as in psycho strange
To understand this feeling  you need feel 
as do the crazed. 

Constituting heart is a melody of nature 
but as I hear it playing is my symphony in 
gesture 
As the organ sounds flows the flood of 
tainted scarlet.
Leaving all but dense perfume and a taste 
of cupcake velvet. 

This wretched place I know is my bound 
while I am bleeding
Not much bleeding as in breathing but 
nonetheless demeaning
This occupation begs by night, entombs  
me and  enslaves  
Preoccupying binding shadows, darkness 
is my subtle crave
