Darkness Fell

A night with a shadow

Darkness fell.

The glistening marble beneath me

ached from the night's torture. 

So did I. 

A blast of wind pierced the room

as you walked in, 

making the candles flicker 

in time with my quickened heartbeat. 

I lifted my head to meet your gaze, 

enticing...murderous...

a gaze made unbreakable

as you blew out each candle. 

Darkness fell.

I could feel your breath in my hair,

savoring my lilac perfume.

I touched the corners of your mouth, upturned

but couldn't see your searing eyes.

Suddenly, you lifted me,

and a gasp escaped my throat.

Your hands became my sight

in the drifting, stalking night. 

Darkness fell. 

It bent to the will of the coming morning,

and as quick as night retreats,

you left me

with no reminder of your existence...

Shadow, 

shadow, 

come to me.

Come to me when darkness falls.

I like the way you draw people in with each line and the rhythm and flow of the piece. The almost gentle way you plead for it to return. Nicely written. Thank you for sharing.
