Obsidian Smile
Obsidian glass and bad intentions
Lithe and alien form
Slinking along the misty ruins
Its hide is scoured by thorns
Eyes searing and deathly pure
Shadows behind, shadows before
Chaos walking, insanity breeding
It sees you there
It smiles.
Run with your mind, not with your legs
Or you'll be snared and stolen
Fight with your words and don't let it cut
Its body is sharp and swollen
Trembling fear, molten hot deed
Spewed from below to consume
One will shatter, the other break free
It sees you there.
It smiles.
Feeling nothing but longing for something
A purpose, a reason in life
Unchanged valleys, clad in confusion
Splintering you like a saif.
Made from destruction but thirsting for more
Fragments and laws unfamiliar
Imploring, exploring, visions are shared
It sees you there.
It listens.
Harrowing truth and dim pretensions
Between the two, so torn
Amnesiacs from another dimension
Your hollow cries, forlorn
Obsidian glass and alien promise
Meet its gaze and be dissolved
One half banished, the other in bliss
It sees you there.
It falls.
