The Light Of Darkness


       The Light of Darkness       


  The dark has always frightened me
      since I was just a child
  The minute that the sun went down
      the demons all went wild

  They preyed on the young and tender
      they knew right where you were
  They'd steal your soul and eat your heart
      'least, that is what I heard

  A child I am no longer..
      I stand before you grown
  The dark is now a welcomed sight
      a place thats ours alone  

  A place that wraps around us
      a place where yes, we dwell
  Somewhere far from heaven...
      sometimes close to hell

  You have reached me  as no other..
      you have touched my very core
  All I am, and all I will be
      only yours.... forever more

  As you take me, and possess me
      drink your fill, and you will see..
  As our juices flow together
      joined forever......blessed be.

It’s strange how that

It's strange how that which we once feared, with the passage of time, becomes our refuge. I enjoy this kind of writing, which presents different thoughts at different times.

Hi Tony, Thanks so much

Hi Tony, Thanks so much for your response on this piece. Strange indeed. Try telling a child that one day they will cherish the dark....I think they might argue the point!! Sue
