Delirium (Acrostic)

8 2 0
                                    

Deafening shrieks shatter unsuspecting spirit

Erratic lashes of metaphoric whip

Lacerate decaying flesh oozing the essence of life

Incandescent blades burn and slice contracted tendons

Remains of skeletal structures massacred

Inevitable sporadic stabs of a betraying knife,

Unhindered by the sight of spilled scarlet blood,

Mangle midrims of agonized beings harvesting beating hearts.
