Down Below

Stare from afar At water's shore My eyes burn Yet can't break free Edge of vision Creature looms It haunts my sight And longs for me Follow it down Deep down below Tread where others Won't dare to go Follow it down Deep down beneath Into the darkness Down behind the trees Fresh red line Where green ferns grow Waft of iron Swims on the breeze Nostrils flare Pluming mist rises softly Gently fall onto my knees Run deep down below Hunt deep down below Prowl deep down below Rush deep down below Pounce deep down below Strike deep down below Tear deep down below Drag deep down below Feast deep down below Follow it down Deep down below Tread where others Won't dare to go Follow it down Deep down beneath Into the darkness Down behind the trees See you writhe Entangled mass Gaping foul seeps Rust-tinged black Cleanse bloodied hands In muddied water One feral eye Gleams mirrored back Wind whispers softly The beast is me
