Hypnotized by Darkness
Thick ghosts escaped my lips
And surrounded my shivering frame
As I gazed upon him
Like a woman hypnotized
The rain fell through the fog
And in the darkness the fog coalesced
Allowing me to see the flowers once alive and dancing
Decay like rotting skeletons beneath him
Columns of darkness
That held the shadows of my beloved beast
Slowly began blocking the light
Of his smoky pernicious eyes
From that portal of ominous darkness
His cold heavy corpse of a hand reached for mine
With gluttonous hunger
And I could not deny his touch
His voice like crystal cataclysms
Boomed and echoed through my veins
And I became slavishly seduced
By his impassioned visions of how we should be
I wondered how he could be so powerful
And yet so oddly vulnerable
Deeply entranced by his infernal breath
As if in an opiate induced sleep
I tried to explore the chilling circumstances
That fed my need to love him
And I have come to this conclusion,
I know I love him, like I know my name
The luminance of his desirous floods my mind
And I may fear for my very soul when I am with him
But I will surely tremble and fade away without him.
