Placard in The Book of Oblivion


Today, thou shall cease to breathe air,
for I shall smite thee with vigor and dagger
and spread wide open thy vault
to perceive the black heart encased within.

For thou hast tormented me with fear,
with threatening stance and eyes!
So with stealth and caution,
I shall entice death upon thy sleeping form.

I propose a restriction of torture in those moments
although I, the recipient of thine abundant wrath,
deserves to delight in it!
Soon vengeance comes swift and sure, with righteous fury!

How may I feel guilt with such contentment?
Tonight, I shall sleep and relish it again,
for the life in thee evaporated, and thy name,
Demetrius, be placed as a placard in the book of oblivion!
