Primordial, lurking ever within me

shadowing each thought, each moment

without provocation surfacing like a banshee

lunging,thrusting in black light

of day or night

painting crimson with fear

my conscious,my subconscious

domination is complete

abject fear overwhelms me

tightly now,twist the tourniquet of faith

escape of emotions raw, is ebbing

tremulous, I gather blanket like about me

all tranquil thoughts, past joys

recall sweet embraces

rhythm of apparent normalcy returns to rule

though my psyche remains pallid

ambivalence has left a sweaty pool

death's specter has retreated like a bold coward

unseen, hiding out of conscioussnesses grip

awaiting another moment of opportunity

to strike at light speed

oh evil demon, evil seed

at my demise you'll rein no more

'tis then my opportunity for revenge and expulsion

shall be loosed upon you.
