Analysis of Siblings

SR Figgs 1962 (Monterrey)



Awaken in the darkness, vast and deep,
within labyrinths of eternal fire keep;
two fraternal figures murmur and dance:
hap might give them another chance.

Their forms deformed, they drag forever,
dwelling in murk, waiting to endeavor,
out of this abyss, to cause misery and pain,
tainted premise to defile the body vain.

Their corrupted particles bear absurd nuisance,
now their figures materialize its substance;
complementary to each other, they are new creatures,
prowling the streets looking for innocent features.

Of the weakness of its opposites they nourish,
sinister strengths allowed them to flourish;
always ending with fatal consequences,
swiftly in his confine, the victim experiences.

They need to absorb the essence mortal and pure,
of feckless souls they deceive to procure;
mortals blinded by passion their bodies will offer,
in carnal feasts overflowing with sexual transfer.

If you happen to meet these siblings in your trail,
be sure to keep your dreams elsewhere and wail.
they might be looking for your soul eternal flame,
a new beginning, they are waiting to claim.
