Artists of the Edge

She lives within your ache,
carefully soaking up every secret forbidden desire
making them into an image
that she can beguile with spells
focusing her dark powers with all her energy
for turning the statue
into a force
which will burrow into your soul.

Until it pushes and possess all you are,
stripping away ever inhibition
letting the carnage of passion's carnivorous inner demons
unleash their savage lusts
in your fingertips.

Mind will slowly slip away from its reality
body becomes obedient to the bewitching
walking out into the night
searching to be a sacrifice
to her darkest joys.

Waking in the morning
somewhere unfamiliar
feeling violated and uncleaned,
trying to return home
ever nagged by the sense of being watched
and having a macabre image of one's heart
clutched in a grotesque statue's mouth.
