The Dance Of The Mantis
(Dark Love)


My world is naught,
Soul is ripped,
Caught. . . .
Caught in this web
Of unrequited Love.

Your grip is strong. . . .
Stronger than
The weakly grasped threads
Of this reality.
Pulling, ever pulling me to you.

We play the game. . . .
The chorus begins.

Few for me. . . .
Many for you. . . .
All look on in delight
As the contest continues.

Sight is fading, fading fast.

Torment continues. . . .
Can't go on.
Lost, alone.
Mesmerized by you knowing stare.

Drawn, As the moth to a flame.
Caring not if I'm consumed.
Driven.
After all,
Isn't that my aim?

Ripped apart,
For all to see.
I go willingly,
Blindly,
To the consummation of my desires. . . .

Kneeling before you. . . .
I wait.
Wait for your precious Coup De Grace.
I shiver with pain and delight,
Your grip tightens. . . .
Merciless, unrelenting.

My heart is ripped,
This life ends.
Quickly, quickly, my darling. . . .
My darling, My Kali-Ma.
