Radiant dawn

spiralling down

in a contrasting kaleidoscope

of ebullience edge

beautiful light separating

my night from

the day I've left

so very far behind

so very long ago

Resist the urge to raise a hand

my will succumbing swiftly

numbed by instinct so very strong

the hunger that cries like

stillborn desire

I hear moonbeams rescind a pass

issued by mephistos damnable decree

the chill surges stronger through

how I wish I had strength left

to deny the insistence gnawing constant

One single step

all I need take to break

this deathly will

the spell cast of

innocence stolen by

but a moments darkest kiss

my resolve bleached

to the very bone

enshrouded by this veiling blight

that curses every breath taken

while I lay conquered to a need

so foreign to mine own

Goodnight my daily bread

from shadows where my soul lies

weeping - torn

tended by all these scars

in constant attendance

the things they've said to me

the words always they'll say

that my reality means

I will never be one among the casual light

what I am means I must be forever

alone

a curse I'm resigned to wear

just so I can reach my art

touch a sacred part deep

nobody ever sees
