My Savagery

Contains graphic words and depictions of war and violence. If you are easily offended, please be warned. Thank you.

The chains that bind

I’m not your slave

I shatter them

You can’t be saved

Your jugular

Ripped from your throat

On River Styx

Your body floats

Your broken skull

Lay in my hands

Berserker beast

No longer man

Your bulging eyes

I take your breath

A war machine

I bring you death

I shall be free

Of iron weight

I’ll drag you to

Hell’s flaming gate

And as you bleat

A startled cry

My savagery

You’ll not deny

  7. Do you know if you have Viking ancestry? I suspect you do and it comes out in your writing and art!

    1. I don’t know if there’s some far back in the bloodline or not. I’ve always felt an affinity to them though. Don’t know if that’s through blood or exposure honestly.
