When the opaque haze of Night surrounds thee,
thy bed of powder and shells beckons
and calls thee to lay; still as a corpse.                                                                                                                

Sleep’s nocturnal hand caresses the lids of thy eyes,
like the hand of the patient soldier
slowly tracing the trigger of his gun...                                                                                                                        

Then suddenly, in a smoldering cloud
comes the cloaked...

I care not why, but I want you:                                                                                                                
I want you pulsating within me; pulsing through my veins...

My words,
not my own.
From the world,
I'm alone.

Inexplicable,
the langauge in my head;
in flames I try to decode it
whilst I writhe in my bed...

Can't have the world see me
while this scream of knives burns deeply;
They'd thinkest me weakly...
But I need one to hear me,
The knives scorce so deeply!

My words,
not my own.
My dreams,
so sombre.
I feel I'm alone,
'gainst my Soul's tempest weather...
