The Sacrifice (R)

Clouds drift across a harvest moon Washed in blood and gold Goosebumps adorn my arms Though the night is far from cold I lay upon the ground On an alter crudely fashioned Candles flicker; shadows dance My cry for release, impassioned I moan and wreathe in torment Aching for delivery Devastated, by your touch Begging you, to set me free You loom above, sword drawn I tremble, shake and quiver Cry out as you impale me Collapse into death’s river But, you… you are not satisfied Merciless, you plunge your blade To echoes, of triumphant cries At your feet, my spirit’s laid With violent thrusts And vehement plea We mate… In perfect ecstasy!

I'm not sure about the title; I added it at the last second.
