Image for the poem Where the incubus creep

Where the incubus creep

Infernal design
equipped to malign
To center your time
In an endless decline
 
Hell has been touted
as heaven, rerouted
where his seduction is clouded
Lest the spirit be shrouded
 
The chasm’s too deep
And these walls are too steep
Never able to sleep
Where the incubus creep
 
Commit to the shame
Of the gatekeepers maim
where the veil is aflame
And the crust is the same
 
The raze of the rotten  
Where grace is ill-gotten
The moaning;
forgotten
where burdens are boughten
 
Fevered and shivery
Ascension misdelivery
Cruel, bane and slithering
The serpent is withering
 
The musk of your fear
Leaves a layer of sheer
And the scar of the sear
Defends the unclear
 
No rest in the sable
It’s daunting;
Unstable
The devil is able
To rage fill this cradle
