Dark Prince #2

His eyes- stern and dark
Gaze at me with a penetrating stare.
He sees his way right into my soul.

His hands, firm and strong,
Slip their way to the nape of my neck
Pulling gently back my hair.

I feel his breath warm against my cheek-
Feel his lips press against my skin
And I melt into his arms.

He lays me down on black satin
Enveloped in black nylon.
His dark hair falls onto his chest
Where his pentagram gleams in the candlelight.

He loves me with a slow fierceness
And a brutal passion
That delivers me into an evil divinity

(and I merge with his dark soul. I become one with my dark prince.)

Death

Death walks alone through the blackened mist of the midnight air.
He walks upon the clouds, slicing his way through with his sickle.
Peasants crouch in the corners, fearing for their lives.
Who has Death come for tonight?
Is it the mother who has had the difficult pregnancy, and is having trouble birthing?
Is it the sickly child who has not been well in two months?
Has Death finally come for the ancient man who is a century old?
Or has he come for you?
Or me?
Death offers no clue.. no warning.
He treads his path in silence, with no emotion on his solid, palid face.
And as you watch his back become engulfed by the mist,
A tremor quakes your body, and you release a sigh of relief.
For it was not you tonight.
Death did not come for you tonight.
But as you shiver in your darkened corner,
You wonder, will he come for you tomorrow?

Death?

What happens when you die?
Is there life beyond life?
A heaven- where everything you’ve ever wanted is at your fingertips?
A hell- where you are tortured eternally for your sins?
A place inbetween – Limbo – where souls roam?
Do you continue to walk the Earth?
Do you walk another dimension?
Are we reborn into another body?
Do we create a new world?
Do we become a star?
Or a god?
Can we become a spiritual guide or a guardian angel?
Or do we just disappear into blackness-
A soulless carcass-
Terminated and forgotten?

I am One Aquainted with the Night

I am one aquainted with the night.
I am cool, and quiet, and gentle.
I can make one feel at ease
Or unease.
I can darken ones perceptions
And spread shadows.
I can softly illuminate and sparkle.
I can disappear into the blackness.
I am far away
But my reflection is still seen.
My aura still felt.
My presence still there.
My singing is the song of the night’s creatures.
My love is the Moon’s soft glow.
My anger is the stalker in the shadows.
My death is the rising of the Sun.

Keep my eyes shut— I don’t want to see what lies ahead.
Devastated dreams, scattered pieces of a shattered life.
Sanity eluding, encircled in a web of madness.
Forgetting peace.

Keep my ears deaf. I don’t want to hear—
My tortured screams, the silence unbroken
Ringing so loud-driving me mad.
A leaking faucet..my life drips slowly out of me.
A remembrance of the sweetness I use to hear.

Keep my mouth shut— I don’t want to speak the awful truth.
The lies of death, they all become a monstrous reality.
A word of black..my soul gets darker with every day..

Realness unthought of has now taken me away……

Moonsong

Goddess of the Hunt
Queen of the Night
Bathe me in
Your pale moonlight
Guide me as I walk
The path of this life
Through my times of glory
And my times of strife
Mother of my being
Wife of the Sun
Bless me, protect me
Until my time is done.

Flames of passion
Growing constantly higher
The urges that call within
I surrender to my desire
Heat from the lust
Stealing all of my breath
Gasps of longing
The sensations I feel won’t rest.
Until I have taken
All your love from you
And made it my own
There nothing you can do.

Deep in the depths of my heart
There is an emptiness;
A black hole of frameless time
Caught in a web of nothingness.
Spinning in the darkness
Kept in endless mystery.
What is happening to me??

I am dead to the world.
My body rots within,
But no one can see for the outside.
My heart no longer beats.
My soul has gone away.
I hear nothing.
I see nothing,
I feel nothing.
I am nothing.

Deep as the Storm

Listening to the falling rain
Pattering against the window pane
I think of you.

The raindrops rolling down the glass
Are like the tears falling down my face
When I think of you leaving.

The thunder roaring through the sky
Is my heart crying out in agony.
I love you so much.

The lightning streaking through the clouds
Is the electric shock of our last touch.
I wish you didn’t have to go.

As the dark clouds roll away
And the light illuminates the grey
I realize you must leave.
But here I shall linger
Like the rainbow after the storm
And wait for your return.

I want you

My heart is aching to have you near.
I want you by my side.
My body tingles whenever you walk by.
I want you as mine.
My breath is caught short
When I see you smile.
I want you to want me.
My head spins when you look in my eyes.
I want you desperately.
My happiness grows when you touch me.
I want you to embrace me.
My heart fills with joy
When you tell me you love me.
For now I have you
And I love you
And that’s all I need.
