Come to me now my beloved Neil
And hold me in your arms once again
Take away all of this suffering and loneliness
I am so tired... so much pain...
How I long to hear your sweet words
Telling me that everything will turn out okay
How your eyes would drown into mine
Making me aware that you are always here
That you would never leave my side
Oh my darling... hold me... never let me go...
I am so afraid of this path I'm treading
Wrap your strong arms around this frail body
And keep me warm against the cold bitter night
Shower me with tender kisses to help rid of this pain
Never leave me my love... I am so scared...
"We'll be okay.. my love, it's alright..
I'll stay with you forever..."
As the cloak of night falls across the busy city streets
She peers out of her open window, gazing at the starry sky
Her entrancing beauty shines in the darkness around her
And her sultry voice echoes in the night
Like windchimes playing tag in the cool breeze
Yet her eyes... those soulful eyes... they are so sad...
How she yearns to soar up into the heavens
And touch the pale face of the moon
To know how sweet freedom is
Away from these heavy shackles of pain and solitude
Yet nobody knows of her aching loneliness
For she dares not cry out in longing nor shed a single tear
Less the hungry wolves come chasing after her
So in the shadows, she carries her invisible cross of heartbreak
And awaits the time someone comes to free her from her chains.
The darkness overtakes her at smoldering dusk
And the beast mockingly takes hold of her sanity
There is no mercy in her deep set eyes
And pain is tipped upon her bloodred fingernails
The subtle gothic make up frames her pallid face
And her cascading hair crowns her in full glory
In her gaze lies passionate hate for the world
Yet in her kiss, blissful heaven abides
Her warmth cloaks you like a welcome fur coat in winter
Yet her heart is frozen solid
It will take the blazing sun to thaw it out...
She extends her hands to you in welcome
But do you dare take it
Even if it means being consumed by her addictive mystery?
It takes a strong person to be her friend
A much more powerful man to love her...
She is far too fragile... too deadly to cradle
But oh to have her at your side when the night nears
Even the purring of cats cannot compare to her moans
And her subtle movements are scintillating to the senses
Her mind knows how to keep safe her precious heart
For she knows only one can hold the key to it
Until then, she shall feed without remorse
And set free all your demons within
Nothing would break you free from her spell
Unless she chooses to do so
So word to the wise, never tread on her domain
Her dark Eden is wonderous to behold for the innocent eye
Yet it means harsh torture for the preying soul
No man has the right to trespass here...
Except for the one she deems worthy to share her throne with.
Sometimes, we opt to look inside ourselves
And find that we are staring at trick mirrors
Silly, distorted, sometimes frightening images
Reflecting ourselves; we absorb these pictures
Often, locking them inside the secret corners of our mind
Many people feed off these insecurities and fears
And eventually add to the horrid visions about ourselves
Even if these images are not true.
Self-disillusion and masochistic views of who we are
Mocking ourselves to the limit where pain becomes unbearable
Wherein our souls get tainted with unwanted blood
And the unsuspecting spirit breaks down without notice...
It is in this moment, I retreat to my corner
Seeking solitude to cleanse myself of the impurities of others
And really begin to seriously meditate on what I am...
On who I am... On what reason am I here for.
In this bleak, lonely darkness filled with deafening silence
Can I begin to listen to the song that my heart sings
Without intrusion, without distortion
My vision slowly becomes clear and focused
From scratch, I rebuild and repaint the pictures I have
Making sure to add every bit of detail needed to improve the self
I let my tears wash off the un-needed sketches
And re-inforce the true images I've seen during this isolation
Only after I've painted the true masterpiece
Do I leave the darkness and become strong to face the light again.
The lush twilight spreads like a satin cloak
Enveloping the hungry earth in eerie shadows
Minute lights begin to flicker in the night
From the open windows
And a chilling breeze is felt in the almost empty streets
Though most fear the darkness,
I embrace it with wild abandon
For I know in its damp yet motherly hug
I can be almost invisible to the world I so long to hide from
Where I can silently move without notice
And do the many secret things my heart longs for
I can soar the starry skies without a care
And dance in full glory under the pale moonlight
But as dawn starts to peek from the horizon
I awaken and conform to the surroundings around me
Concealing my innate nature from the unsuspecting crowd
And I take form as one of them...
But the heart knows each secret I keep in my soul
Silently awaiting for evening to fall once more.
Alabaster skin... deep set eyes...
Long ebony hair... pallid face...
She silently walks along bustling roads minding no one
Yet sees every soul that swiftly passes by...
Cloaked in darkness and enveloped in shadows
She is frightening beautiful to behold
Her sweet red lips promise heaven without even uttering a word
Yet her dark power lies not in such beauty alone
For when the moon rides high in all its splendor
Her haunting voice echoes in the twilight
She sings of love, and lust, and life
And then lures her willing prey into the night
She kills mercilessly without a thought...
She drinks her fill and still she dares
To glance upon his naked dying flesh
"He's not the one who's meant for me..."
So she roams the city streets once more again.
Lost but seeking; confused yet certain...
Death is but a gift to give; life is but a boon to take...
Time is but a sweet thing to waste.
To taste her passionate kiss is blissful drug...
To lust for her is madness beyond reality...
To love her is beyond all reason to live
For Death himself has chosen to be her groom.
Yet would you dare to steal her away?
Would you be strong enough to withstand her thirst?
To possess her body, mind, soul, and unbeating heart?
For if you do, this warning I give...
Dare not try to tempt your fragile fate in her deathly comforting arms
Less you not live to see the light of day
For she destroys without a care
Those who are not worthy with her life to share...
For eternity is her love's command...
And she won't surrender it till you're also damned.
Hear my soft voice though I am so far away...
Know my secret thoughts and my strong desire to stay
For you have touched me in ways unimaginable
And I have fallen so deep in ways that seems misunderstandable
Do not shun away from me this present time
For secretly in my soul,
I want you to whisper to me "you're mine..."
Yet time is not on our side, my beloved dark knight
Still, this does not diminish my longing to have you near
To feel your smooth skin warm against my thigh
To press my mouth upon your parted lips
To never ever hear you say goodbye
Till fate will turn and smile our way
Utter happiness shall be felt in that very day
That we'd be together, me within your arms
Keeping me safe from all hate.. from pain.. from harm
Till then please stay with me and hold on tight
Let us keep each other sane in the passing of night
Till love shall burn in both our hearts
Till the dawn will come when we shall never know
How it hurts to be apart
Till the time we embrace and kiss and make love
Till our stars shine brightly together from the heavens above
Like a lovely sweet nightingale
She stays perfectly calm inside her golden cage
Her dark chestnut hair framing her tender face
Making her alluring eyes and luscious lips stand out
As if her mouth was inviting you to come with her to heaven
Without even uttering a word...
Her soulful eyes scream of passions told only in whispers
She is truly a sight to behold in such glory
Yet in the dead of night when all is silent
Her eyes sparkle with tears as she looks up at starry sky
And that is when she begins to softly sing her rhapsody
It is filled with both hope and heartache... love and hate...
In her mind, she doubts her own version of the truth about happiness
For what use are riches in this world
If one's own soul is bound in chains?
Yet what use is freedom if it meant being alone in the world?
Possession is a lesser evil than loneliness...
Oh sweet sorrowful echoes of yesterday that lingers in my head
Why must you torment me so on this cold night?
My fingers cannot cope with the words
That are wanting to be released from this dark consciousness
What peace is there in silence?
As I try to avoid the haunting melodies of months gone by
My heart begins to quiver in loneliness and longing
But the mind is merciless and takes command...
My walls reinforced with poisoned wires
And my towers reach up to the heavens above
Yet why is this happening?
What sense is there in being protected
When even those who want to love me and who I wish to love
Cannot even touch me?
If he reaches out to me and says he is mine...
Then my tragic Eden will re-awaken
And all will be bloody... sweet... and beautiful all at once in his return.
