shadows delight

I will absorb your pain through the folds that cry
 
tearing upon my strength that forgives
 
no matter how deep the secrets that I penetrate
 
when I see your hands embracing the bindings you once struggled against
 
I will know that you have finally found yourself deep within the shadows
 
The shadows you feared as evil
 
evil does not feel like this my pet
 
It is you exposed  
 
unveiling the scarred face that you protect
 
the trenches from tears of running under a mask
 
I am just a dominant
 
you are but a slave
 
within the bindings of my hardened hands
 
you will hold hands with your shadows and escape
 
escape the burdens you carry
 
smiling as you run your fingers across your scarred face
 
discovering the treasures they bring
 
scars that mark the beauty
 
the thorns that once buckled your knees at every step you take
 
will be tingles of golden pricks
 
step swiftly my child
 
step into the heavenly light
 
of shadows delight
