Write a story. Any story
But let it have dragons
O Gods of war

In the jungle corridor
I feel your haughty presence feasting the Manticore
She stalks the shadows, burning

The smoke is thick and reeks of blood
Her hunger an eternal yearning
Tentric, necromantic, a wank fantasy of faith

She religiously feeds
A feverous all man-eater
In the trees I see her eyes like slithering she of snakes

Monstrous this chimera
In her beautiful anger


Screaming from the pulpit
Damnation's oratory
She is the whispering poisoned dart

And the breath of armageddon all around
The embodiment of evil in a body full of raptures
Antropophagous

Manticora

Press the silent violin of frisson over horror

In my forced hand
Sphinx will sing her song and coloured in lullabies
Death endorsed invades our lands

Gigantic, pyromantic
A beast of naked flame
Panting blackened masses from her opulent Godhead

Ill-barbed are those tongues spread wings eclipse her frame
And in her deep crevasses Kundalini vents unfed


In darkness
Her fastness threshed with fleshing teeth
She comes to masticate you whole

She is the bane of mothers
Grand leveller of Maa Kali's Mardi Gras
What man would damn the world to summon her?

Be still
Pray silence lest she stoops to conquer


The perverse acid queen
Ten thousand pillars in her heart
Uphold a cracked palace of frozen killers

And the mirrors in her soul
Polished black for scrying nightmares
Bubbles with a lust

That yearns to burn again

Razor backed, she attacks

Empire's battle cat
A creature of the white devil's rule
Mythical and mystical

Provinces will recall the swarm of refugees from her pall

Mimicking victims

With a voice of the choicest deadpanned in pain
Awful claws hold rapport with the skins of mankind
She is the whispering poisoned dart

And the breath of armageddon all around
The embodiment of evil in a valley full of raptors


A lick of fire on her lips as silent as a will o wisp
She comes amongst you all, tigressive
Blazing in her pride hellraising horrors from the dark-side


Manticore
