("and in the twilight of the morning, it appeared to me at foot of my bed…beckoning me, coaxing me, telling me what I was good for, and it wasn't so good…")


Shape-shifter hovering
Overhead
Twisting words
Of hopeless dread
Painting pictures for
My mind to see
Intending
To leave me
Hopeless…

I've seen
Your bag of tricks
Before…
Leaving me
Paralyzed
Inside your walls-
Of angst,
Debauchery and chains
I'm not
Your slave,
Your w***e,
Your blame…

Now

Dark is bright,
Your playground's
Mine
I've seen your blood,
I've drank your wine
Vintage; smoke, mirrors
Steam and fire
I won't
Be owned
By your desire
Anymore…

I like the strength and independence of this. I think too often we give away our power to the personalities or pricipalities that challenge us. It's then that we willfully enter into defeat. That's just not acceptable.
Very strong piece! Congratulations!

I like this one, it's beautiful somehow.

I agree with kelly, they need all the help they can get and we ourselves need to be that help. it is for a reason we are given abilities and to use them selfishly for gain or otherwise only weakens and destroys them. I feel we are all one and the dark ones are nothing more then lost hopeless spirits who have commited the unspeakable act of blasphemy of thier holy spirit. in essence they have stayed in the dark so long they have become lovers of it and have forgotten who they truly are and can not recall it no matter what because they CHOOSE to believe otherwise.

free will in reverse in essence. Such a sad state and it is a very hollow feeling obviously and that is why they lack the emotions the crave and look to feed on those who are still in them.

great write and very meaningfull. should be paid attention to by all.

Interesting piece. Not many can see thru the disguise....Similiar to 'Fascade of Lust' in referring to the unseen and exposing the plan to distroy. I love exposing the distroyer to the truth, not mistaking the victims that can't see them for the evil ones themselves. They who don't see, need all the help they can get....
Thanks for sharing this thought provoking piece.
