Fulfilled - Poetry

Fulfilled
 

Through the dying moonlight he appears

Secret no more

Death shudders

The gates will open at six

A pilgrimage awaits acceptance

Their paths unknown, their crimes unforgiven

Except for her

The pale, naked beauty in front

Entrancing the mass

Angering the gods

Her crimes meaningless to the righteous

Their self deceit blinding them of the genius

Soon, redemption will show the way

The embers are lighted

Her stake stands erect

From the darkness, an angel appeared

Tormenting the siren with flames from the inferno

Repent

Repent and be saved

The gathering tightens the noose

Impales her upon the altar

Gazing across the horizon, she cries out

The flames caressing her subtle breast

Her soul alive again

At last, the baptism is complete

The contract etched in stone

Marking forever with her ashes

The congregation falls silent

The lord of darkness shares his embrace

Welcoming one and all into his kingdom

Their sacrifice was just

His cravings fulfilled
