The elementals

In the clandestine corners of my soul
Lurking shadows in battle for control
In the deepest caverns of my mind
The elusive ones have found a place to hide
Filthy spirits dire!
The everlasting fire!

When the spark returns to the source
I succumb to the evils of my foes
The elementals
They incubate my soul and torment me
I call upon the serpent to set me free
The intoxicating call of paradise
All the revelry has been denied
Aggravating cries for suicide

Among abbattoirs they dwell
Amid the stench of blood and pain
The astral simulacra and shells
In lower regions they remain
Forest sprites!
Phantoms of nature!
Leave me alone!
Spare me from thy hunger
