The lightbulb  above my head
just blew



Darkness

draws in

Lightly traced
laced
curves and hidden contour
fan slow the flames
of passion
as tips of fingers
beg entry to undiscovered
yet desired spaces between
his want
and her need
smouldering eyes bat butterfly kisses
allaying fears
speaking unspoken words of promise
as embers now lit
blaze a trail from nape to navel
with salacious tongue
his obedience repaid by open invitation
as all trepidation is incinerated
within the heat of this solemn moment
his lips meet hers
scorching the very essence of her ***
with love lust and longing

She
still had the corsage

and

the photograph

but she had long since lost



the smile.

Behind the windows
lays a room
bathed forever
in
darkness

.
Tis not with the eyes I see you
for they are blinded by your beauty
tis not by my touch I claim to know you
for they are fooled by your depth of gentleness
tis not by scent I recognise you
for perfume and creams mask thy fragrance
Tis with my heart I see you the true you
the you hidden awaiting to be found
tis with my words I claim you the real you
awaiting to be awoken with a kiss
tis with my soul I inhale you the only you
that awaits to imprint herself upon one

who is willing
to know the woman behind the mask.

I'll pen for you a memory
if you'll but offer up your skin

and I'll trace my heart upon it
to carve initials in

my fingernails lightly
will then underline each kiss

for all or nothing is my promise
as you deserve a love like this

All my life I've walked in darkness
beneath the dreamers mocking smile,
as they slept the sleep of angels
and I'm awoken by Belial.

Too many daemons haunt me
I'm too far gone to er' be saved.
too many voices screaming
and too many times I've caved.

All my life I've walked in darkness
as the dreamers turned blind eyes,
and the angels guard them nightly
from my lord the lord of flies.
