dismal shadow

Stare into my eyes for eternity
The darkness holds the key
Hold me close, your fallen angel
Let me open your eyes so that you may see
unhallowed whispers in your mind
restrain you from confronting your fears
your voice lingering in my thoughts
such a sweet euphony to my ears

Gaze into my eyes forever
this dismal shadow hides a key
let me envelope you on my alter
and sculpt you into what i wish you to be
dance with me out in this garden
where shadows cavort and play

Death comes forth wrapping you
in his icy tender embrace
and a voice beckons softly
asking you to stay

stand beside me for eternity
let me take you in my arms
follow me into the darkness
I shall keep you safe from harm

this has a distinct romanticism to it... I liked "dance with me out in this garden" the most as it conjurs beautiful images of a nightime tango. Fox

So beautiful and peaceful, until a twist (the third stanza), turning the whole feeling, Like a knot in a thread. Beautifully articulated. ~L
