Daylight, long since
shunned --
the night becomes
our world.
Pale lovers share
their salty kisses:
each embrace
assaults the void.
Knives flash,
then are hidden --
lives are spared
down the dim alleys
of 'Never-End',
where (once treaspassed)
we now dare to walk.
Tired mysteries stir --
awaking to secrets
shared,
and sometimes kept;
to sinful debts
that must be paid.
Sleepless shadows
****** and sway
demanding courage...
(testing faith?).
But, we know too well
the dark to be
our only friend.
Sweating out its passion,
craving pleasure's pain...
swearing oathes
in whispers;
breathing vengence
to be made.
Empty hours:
filled with careful
dreams...
Empty hearts:
careless choices
breaking all.
The sad mercy
of a moment's rest
comes at break-neck
speed.
Gutters fill with
lust and blood --
minds are eased;
memories erased.
No promises need
cross our lips,
only those sweet lies
best told in the warm
darkness
of our endless night.
