I yearn for it...

I long for it...

They say its just beyond the horizon...waiting for me...

They say its just around the corner...expecting me...

It's right there! they say...

Shining, and glistening your way...

Can't you hear it's sweet serenade...

Sure, I say, I catch fleeting glimpses everyday...

beckoning me to inherited it as a dear and trusting friend

They claim it's always clear,and always defining...and yet, for me, ever elusive is this silver lining...

From out of the depths I hear you...

YOU, who dare cries foul!...

Do YOU not know where you reside NOW?...

Do you not know what fate awaits...

Your life of pestilence, greed and hate...

O' how you will suffer in death as those who suffered in life?...

Without warmth, or love to ease the strife...

So Cry out! Cry out loud all you wish, NO prophet or saint can save you from this!...

This is HELL!...

and NO, not by some divine Spell, but rather by your own hand as your fortune will soon prey-tell.

Brusque lips, long legs and sultry eyes...of all these things I most despise...

These trappings of the mind, body and soul... always touching and never letting go...

This muse, she sings to me, only invites tribulations... Not with-holding her own inhibitions...

Tangled by her web of trust, I'am only to be lead...by her scent, her prose, her insatiable appetite for blood, and lust...

The smile she manages with little grace...which NO wealth or fame could ever replace...

Her Stockings and O' Lace litter my space... her foot-prints through out the...

You'll find them in shallow graves, Skull Caps, buried alive in a silent rage...

The color of bone protruding through the cold packed earth...

And yet, despite all of this, it manages to retain its perpetual grin, as if there was NO pain or NO sin...

Just the sent of earthworms and wood-rot...

And a full moon that shines on this forgotten plot...

Swear to suck the life out of you...
Swear to spread lies, deceit, and corruption...
Swear to dishonor those who question my authority...
Swear to destroy all who opposes my will.....
Swear to steal the torch you carry for the weak and innocent...
Swear to swallow up the light that seeps into your day...
Swear to drown you in your own sorrows and self-pity...
Swear to smother your heart with fear and loathing...
Swear to strangle your joy and happiness until it shines NO more...

...I darkness...
