Necromantic Decay - A Poem

NECROMANTIC DECAY
Ever in the darkness, brooding, intruding,
Tombs and tomes guard lore, hidden, forbidden,
Taboo rites when writing, sigils, rituals,
Adjacent living beings suffer, vexing, hexing,
Curses. Distending,

Tendrils of lichen, threading, spreading,
Lick at the pustules, unclean, gangrene,
Seizures rack the body, shuddering, suffering,
Internal organs failing, pulsing, convulsing,
Cease, Breathing.

Rise soulless undead, dismaying, decaying,
Driving voracious hunger, pacing, chasing,
Feast on the living, screaming, bleeding,
Gouge out the bodies, rending, shredding,
Flesh. Eating,

Black ichor discharge, oozing, suffusing,
Bolster the infection, roaming, probing, 
Contagion begets an army, languid, lurching,
Epidemic rising, imbedding, spreading,
Doom. Impending,

Catastrophic tidal wave, converging, purging,
Streaming in a heartless plight, rotting, plodding,
Putrefaction blights the land, ceaseless, relentless,
All erstwhile life, united in, endless, eternal,
Death.
