Raging surf smashed below house cresting hill
My weary legs faltering upon top
Gargoyles with stone eyes guard the window sills
Rain began to pour…leaden laden drops
Rendezvous this night, appointment in hell
My betrothed I’d slain, yet so beckons me
Bells ring ‘midst inky moisture, midnight’s knell
Fortress reeks of death…I rise to one knee
Through the rain, cold aching pain…mewing sound
Visage on cornice woman or black cat?
Eyes blur, legs bend I fall on sodden ground
Hissing noise closer, fleeced lover or cat
Sleek, slender, slinky green eyes read “betrayed”
Soon come cat-o-nine-tails…my flesh so flayed
