I Descend

Descent, down, so fast, so far down. The soul came to me and warned me about the book. There was no listening, not for me. I was drunk on the power, I was breathing in the hypnotic effects of murder, they had wronged me and I didn’t mind that I had blood on my hands. I watched them all, each one meet his or her doom. The car accident, the empty elevator shaft, the falling pane of glass. It gave me chills, it made me giddy, I saw the fear in their eyes when I passed by, divine pleasure. They knew I was doing it but, they couldn’t prove it.
The soft down of wings touched my face, it sent a shock through my system, she warned,, “If you don’t cease your rampage, you will lose your soul.” I didn’t care about that.
Now I do, the torment, the pain and twisting inside me. Everything is dark, I see no light not of bulb nor sun. I begged please, the horned creature bared its fangs and laughed breathing sulpher in my face. Here I am, no way back, just my descent into the abyss. My prayer blistered my lips. Amen!
