Beguiled


Being as it is, a boy lies awake on the forest floor. On a cushion of moss and lichens does he lie, the veinal system expanding with each labored breath

Etched into his skin, a covenant with a demon spirit remains.

Guilt stricken promises written in blood

Under the veneer of wandering souls, pale gloom pumps life back into the decimated forest

Incubus beguiles lonely wanderers

Little price to pay for sustenance

Echoes of warnings louder now

Demon spirit, guardian of the forest
