Darkness Growing

Darkness
Surrounds me
It hounds me,
Impounds me
It binds me
Confines me
Entwines me

Black Leather,
No sparkle or studs flashing,
She walks by,
Boots thigh high,
With droplets of blood splashing
Sweat sweating
Blood letting,
Drawing blood with leather whips,
And she pounds,
Like heart sounds,
And the rhythm never slips,
Black Leather,
Pale ghost white skin with red stripes.

She leaves me
And grieves me,
Left alone
Just to moan,
And beg some
Attention.

throwing the curtains wide open
as the light filters in
watching the spaces
where shadows have been
glow with a brilliance
only seen in the light
shining as shining does
bold... brave... and white....

eyes reflecting the sunlight,
Warmth on cold,
Eyes that can’t see the starlight,
Life already took it’s leaving,
Shadows thin,
Alone without any grieving,
in the dark, the cold silence,
broken bones
heals bent with no attendance.
Only to melt away dead,
No water,
Without a scrap of bread.
Released from crucifixion
Iron chains
Held still in isolation,
Curtains that let the sun proud
Shining in,
Opens now to be a shroud.
Carried from whence he was found
Forgotten,
Alone in darkness no sound
