Prequill~
The blood stained cover 'twas of flesh and bone.
Black vain woven spine made thus a thick tomb.
Most would turn away from such a dark book.
I just need to take that one more quick look.
Carved in flesh score signs I can not make out.
Prying open, blood dripping as I shout.
Halted by lock with a hole, finger size,
but a trap before the final prize.
~~~~
"Hey Ashley!"
~~~
"Close your eyes and stick your finger out, I got a surprise"
~~
In a flash I stand alone with this book
Not a witness in site as I did look.
Lock Still bound dripping black blood in my hand
must try more, just need yet another plan
twisted is my fate bound to this dark page
locked out of my heart a broken lost age~
~~
Years have fallen to days in weeks past
the book has spoken to me at last.
pages so vast fall upon my every thought.
so many souls the pages have caught.
With each soul the lock loosen more and more,
until this night when the lock finally
fell to the floor
~~
Twisting turning, spine burning. pulling cover from cover.
pooling blood; cold as its onix color with a crack then another.
Lightning stikes as the book slams shut!
lashing down i feel my leg pulse from a cut.
forcing me down unto the ground
utter silence not a single sound...
ice cold rain starts to pour
as my vision starts to restore
~~
pages fold as if made of skin
Revealing a hidden ink bound grin.
Suddenly I feel at home
Finally im not alone.
