The dark is the deepest when you go.
The lights trip and I am all alone.
Out sprawl my monsters.
Whispered taunts and they flaunt my sins
Naming each one.
They claw me open.
They draw my tears.

The dark is deepest when you go.
The lights trip and I must move on.
I know this place.
I know the corners.
I skim the heights.
Inch by inch.
I silence their screeches.
Its airless, its vacum.

The dark is deepest when you go.
And you've been gone too long.
I am slaying my demons.
I've traded on my dreams.
Jaded eyes see more than before.
My hands not searching for you any more.

The dark is deepest when you go.
and now I hope you never return.
Another beast awaits you here.
Never descend.
I am a darkling thing.
Of claw and scale.
A monster now.
And in my prowl.
Yours is the scent I hunt . . .
The dark is deepest where I lurk.
And beasts find a new queen

Once Upon Time

Once upon a time
I was a girl
You were a boy
Us with out we
Once upon a time
The girl gave the boy a lantern and took him on a journey into the maze of her making. In the wild abandon of her journey, through the doors of her making,the boy saw her soul. She was un afraid and unjaded. They were unfettered by care and in their high secret whispering there were no rules. His skin was her skin and his soul was her soul...
Once Upon a time
I was a woman
You were a man
You had one name
I had mine
Once upon a time
The girl who became the woman was jaded. Her belief flew from her and her heart was an icy place. The wild pleasure of nightime whispers and faded memories invade her dreams but her waking self shrugs them off. The boy who became the man walked his paths with other women. Traveling their paths until his footsteps grew faint in the dust...
Once Upon a Time
I was me
You were you
Once upon a time
The woman who was the girl met the man who was the boy...
She looked in his eyes and years flew from her. The man who was the boy watched what the woman had become and at once he wished to keep her..
Once Upon a Time
I was here
You were Gone
The woman reached for the hand of the man. In her grip only air.

Beastly

I throw my head back for the amber moon
Sprawling in to the shadows
Stalking starlight
Sheltered by the night
Undulating, sinuous scaly
Venom tongued
Poison kiss
Flowing in your veins
Clawing you open
Feasting on my find
I Lay lunar blanket
Sated but emboldened
Insatiable
After the first I know
Your scent in the herd
God crafted
With pure intent
Seven sin spun
I am
Once
Iam
Always
Original temptation
The low drumbeats
My heart sounds
Past the end
Of this wild place
Into the ordered peace
Your heart
Falling like the damned
Spiral into chaos
So far from
Being lost
