Slain
Slain
Lying motionlessly
In darkest of nights
Wound so profound
Open widely an orifice
Feasted feverishly upon by wild insects
Excruciating pains from within
Seemingly un-cease
Gasping in desperation
Inaudibly, “help!”
No one from without!
Submerged in pool of blood
While the dagger
Deeply penetrated inside
Drowned in oceans of agony
Gathering strength
From shamble of ashes
The corpse reawakens
To yet another insomnia
Looking for a past ghost
Who’s never there!
