In the walls lacking livid light,
where sand runs low,
in through the small window
comes mid-moonlight.
Shines down upon a bloody sight
pooling from a sputtering face.
Shaking hands that reach,
icily touching darkness, empty,
and the swish of black curtains.
Just but moments ago, the face
contorted with horror.
Soft features giving into
sordid thoughts
as the rough hand squeezed;
a blade that was gleaming
soon came his quick stab
but sharper was the acrid blood
that made his eyes water.
Her neck held fast now limp.
The splatter had now run dry,
the body lay outlined with silver
how pretty she seemed to shine.
Her ever bright, thoughtful eyes
looked, in way, more onward
fixed softly.
A brutal shade of
dapple-gray
took over her
and
there she lays today.

This tells such a great story, and the way the words used were not what i had expected when i wrote the word list. The last stanza is verifiably brilliant, if you ask me. Xd
Much love. It's a great piece!
Thanks for entering my contest and good luck!<3 -
