The Festival of Samhain

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Standing upon centre's stage as the crowd became frenzied amid anticipation Wild in abandonment as their naked bodies began to dance within the aisles Shouting in revelry this festivity celebrating the end of summers, dawning Day of the dead with travelers from as far away as Sodom and Gomorrah Chanting in tranceful unison while I then lifted this dagger, to place it upon my throat Peering into the skies as the blackened clouds began to burst a crescendo afore These orgies crying their delight as I then slashed the veil of my wrist Virgins in wishful wanton bareness kneeling at my feet, their crimson nails Digging deeply into my turning flesh as the blood poured upon their thirsting lips While storm clad winds began to howl and banshee's gathered upon the ridge Their piercing eyes penetrating the night as they looked upon in deja vu desires Demons, rising from the depths of the molten earth to mingle with the pendular crowd As the moon began to bleed and the stars to erupt; cries of ecstasy Virgins bathing in this blood and smearing it upon one anothers burning breast While Lucifer stood smiling in ovation with his queens draped at his side Loyal unto their king these children of wayful and I in this spellbound cast Their sacrifice; on this the day of rejoicings darkened hour in crimsons calling Dreams amid, the night of the livings dead.... ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,“The Festival of Samhain” ~
