Sanguinaire (Blood Thirsty) Poem by Joy Davis

Blood red eyes
Piercing the looming blackness
Wandering through the shadows
Disapearing and multiplying
Watching me
Following me
I run from the darkness
Praying and pleading for my soul.

Blood thirsty jaws
Slicing through the dead silence
Of an empty world of nothing
Nothing but me and the darkness
Waiting to feed on my fears
Which create currents of terror
shoot throughout my body.

Blood crazed creatures
Stalking me as I cry out
Tormenting my soul
As I plunge into an unknown pit of wrath
Squirming and struggling
I cry out
Again and again
With no answer
I see blood
My blood
I’m drowning
Suffocating
All alone
I die in peace
and Awake in another world.
