Desire's Inferno

In the depths of the night,

A hunger stirs within,

A craving for something sweet,

A desire that burns like sin.

***

Like a serpent coiled in the dark,

It writhes and twists in my heart,

A mystery so deep and vast,

That it tears my world apart.

***

It whispers secrets in my ear,

Of pleasure and of pain,

It leads me down a path of fire,

Where nothing is quite the same.

***

It's a hunger that cannot be sated,

A thirst that cannot be quenched,

It's a longing that I cannot ignore,

A need that must be met.

***

For this is the hunger of the flesh,

A desire that will not be denied,

A mystery that I must unravel,

A secret that I must find.

***

It is a force that cannot be tamed,

A wild beast that I must ride,

A journey into the unknown,

A mystery that I must abide.
