Darkness Walking ( Archived) (10)

I become
a blade of darkness
in the noonday sun.
The pain
of daylight in my soul
if soul I have
burns through my veins,
invites me to my knees;
and I, primeval,
snarl at my gods
who bend me
to their service
and modern,
cloaked in the current day,
see my awful beauty
and weep
for its futility.
I am alone
shall always be alone
beneath their gentle yoke.
It chafes me to have made
these choices.

My Lady watches me
deep in her half year sleep.
My Lord glows hot
and I, I must forsake
my proper darkness;
I crave the blood dark wine
that stills my soul
if soul I have
and takes from me
the pain of knowing
who and what I am.
My Lover calls me home
I have forsworn him
to taste the fleeting
human pleasure
that betrays me.
His cold embrace
is waiting and I
would like to die
the greater, final death.
Why do I choose
to bear this pain?
I know all the ways
of silence.

Where is such output coming from? I like the depth of this

I know all the ways of silence - speaks volumes and I love its magnetism ...

Yes. I know all the ways of silence...

My favorite line as well, although there's a plethora of depth here throughout the whole poem...

Perhaps sleep deprivation is a good thing, Dor?

I think it makes me more willing to be vulnerable and let some of the drama show.

Well, I think the wall between conscious and sub-conscious breaks down, and we end up more vulnerable to ourselves, for sure. Take care though, I don't want it to affect your health... Who would I debate Shakespeare with then?

I find I am reading these two and three times. It is quite easy to get lost in them. A good thing.

Ha! I took one look at today's topic and decided not to even go there til tomorrow. I need at least one wit in house to debate on Shakespeare!

Merchant is tied with Midsummer's Night as my favorites...
