I spread my wings

I spread my wings, soaring out of my asylum
In a haze of chromatic reds and blues
I spot my next lucky winner from afar-congratulations-
Her aura, petals out from her heart in depressing hues
Lusterless and drab she turns everything (everyone)
Near her a melancholy shade of grey

I kindly decide to relieve the
inhabitants of this pitiful earth
Of a woman whom is delaying others quests
To find happiness before I find them
For life is short-lived by
the oldest and the wisest
Have you made a difference?
Or are you just another
Guileless member of swarms of fish,
pointless, helpless

If God was real,
I am sure he would take pity
Unfortunately, I am here to steal
away your miserable existence
Extinguishing the light of your
flame with one hollow breath
The candle rots and decays
into defiled ashes
Not worthy of me to look at,
as it was worthy of me to kill

Make do -make with-
start a fire again
To replace the one
that I have destroyed
Even though nothing will
ever seem that bright again
Don't stop moving forwards,
revel in the sharp tang of blood
 
The slow fist that clenches
your stomach in hunger
You are alive, and that is all
you can ever ask for
To beg for more is selfish
Do not violate the word miracle
I made you one, I can so very effortlessly
Draw life out so languidly,
you'd die from pain not injuries

My wings fold into themselves,
eyes shifting into yellow embers
With a striped felt,
serrated claws, rippling muscles
My teeth are the least
you should worry about
Lock your doors,
shut your windows
Death is coming
