Astral Leech

Something chewed my foot last night,

Chomping down with all it's might.

I could feel it digging in

Yet it never broke the skin.

Shaking my foot all around

As my heart beat might'ly pounds.

Let me go! I try to say

But it would not go away.

What was latched onto my foot?

I was scared to take a look.

Not until the spider bite

Did I dare turn on the light.

The arachnid, all I saw,

Was there nothing there at all?

But I felt it biting down,

Making not a single sound.

In my mind I saw it there,

As it tried to drain me bare.

An astral leech maybe? Perhaps.

Who knows what should take the rap?

It's gone now but may return,

Some kind of evil astral worm.

Ponderance of the Fall

Golden gate on violet wall,

What will happen if you fall?

Why do I want to find out?

Am I just a selfish lout?

Is it curiosity

Or does a deeper meaning seethe?

What would I be setting free?

Some thing from which we all would flee?

Behind the bricks of glowing black,

Something strange is held far back,

Knowledge of it's nature slack,

But the wall it wants to crack.

I could open wide the door,

Just to find out what its for,

Violate my only chore,

Just because I'm wanting more.

But deep down I know I can't,

Even though I hear the chant,

Of a loud gibbering rant,

Breathing with a heavy pant.

I may wonder, its my right.

I am an eternal might,

Gate and wall and wolf and light,

With an equal does of night.

I will go on wondering,

About all and everything,

that's just what I do you see,

Just be glad you are not me.

What a cup that I must bear,

Always at my mind they tear,

Always trying hard to scare,

I will just no longer care.
