"ALONE IN DARKNESS"
The night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, soulless are we.
The light for which you sacrifice yourself
flares once, then dies,
smothered by madness.
all hope must fail.
Your heart beats no more.
How could you fail to believe?
Lost souls surround us, crying,
we are fallen.
"COLD"
Around, all around, the shadows gather.
My dread grows as the dagger of your words falls against my naked soul.
It slays me, and darkly my
essence drips
to the wicked earth that is my prison.
In my madness I call your name
while nothingness laughs cruelly.
Now alone, my love falls upon cold eyes.
This is because of you.
"I RISE"
It is a night of ethereal pain, a song of death,
wolves vent their loneliness. The immortal one
stirs.
Mist shrouds her brooding form,
an eternal desire.
Her midnight hair cascades over
translucent ivory shoulders, and her
full blood red lips part slightly, to taste the
life streaming from the
pale flesh beneath
her.
Now a night of ecstasy,
I rise.”
"STOLEN EMOTION"
What have you taken away?
A smothering indistinctness of betrayal as thoughts darken.
Once we drank of innocence,
virginal and childlike,
but your desire paled.
A deadened vision of memory -
emotions follow death, follow pain,
love taken away.
In a torrent of sorrow,
I still love you.
"DENIAL"
Slender beams of sunlight enter
this darkened chamber as I kneel,
always in pain, always lost,
frozen here,
waiting.
Tortured forms wrought in panes of glass loom as
dust dances in the air,
forming an image in my mind,
sparing not my naked soul.
Blood on a deathless face.
I raise my head, now defying
this uncaring truth.
