Dark Fluids

Silent eyes watch you from every shadowy corner 

Where the unloved critters will stay, forever suspended 

Ready to leap onto their next vulnerable prey 

Onto undesirable guests 

The consistent derelicts 

The pleasure I gain from their fears are unwarranted 

But my laugh is wide and loud 
as I find delight in their self-inflicted tragedies 

Parasitic flesh wears thin and bursts 
when the prey holds inner realms 

Perhaps, tread carefully next time, my dear.  
Gently, lightly, softly 

It's best to be more self-aware as you enter the Corvid's lair 

For I've already predicted your sense of false divinity, 

The wrinkle in your disguise is a  validation, not a revelation 

The joker's mask you wore was to hide YOUR own world of despair 

Mirror images of who you want to be- 
LAUGH at you as you strain to steal them 

& the cowards retreat, slinking back into my shadows, 

Eventually withering and fading away into the dark abyss
