Darkest drear

Enter my nightmare
Shall you ever dare
Beast dwells therein
Blacker than black skin
So dark it swallows
Light and shadows
Teeth like diamonds; bright
Prisms in absent light
Alluring deadly knives
Conceived to snub lives
Terror self Gods fear
Confined in darkest drear
Chimeric beast of fright
Devourer of light
To Gods of madness
Pray to escape sadness
From gloomy depth
Flee thy death
Beast closing in
Feel it writhe within
