There is lust in blood and love in sacrifice

elenore moves
like an evening storm
with grace and conquest
white tempest robes
cling to her skeleton
flesh persisting

from furious perch
she rules while we
below await an order
anything
save indifference
our obedience

leaves to her wind
we are loved and hated
feeding on her emotion
we are nourished

she became general
commanding colonels
and monsters while
i, bloody, lie
somewhere between

threat of a preference
caused first blood
there was no
returning
we're all enemies now

she relishes those we
murdered for her dominion
sentences us all to war
witness to our lust she
names us the dead
as one by one we fall
