Darkness/Fair Light

It was in a dream:

I was once beautiful,
Some say I still am,
But I no longer think so.

I live in a world of darkness
That cuddles my bones
And holds my pathetic body together.

Before this torment,
I was young,
Naive,
A silly girl with foolish dreams.

The darkness is my home now,
Despite all my "loving" husband does for me.
I expect nothing from him
His heart has long been in the
Ground,
Eaten away by bugs.

Darkness wraps around my body,
Holding onto my lips that are moist
With his sweat.
The babbling idiot.

Such a silly girl who sits and eats Pomegranate seeds
That condemns her
To her lord and master,
Hades.

His teeth smell like rotten fruit
His overall appeal leaves something
To be desired.
His hands touch my Virgin skin,
And makes my blood boil like Apollo's ball of fire.

So here I am
In the darkness to conceal what mother doesn't know.

Mother,
You hold no place for me. You
Have banned me, your own flesh and blood, condemned me.
No help from dear sweet mother.

Pah!
Leave me to my darkness
That is the one love of my life.

****

Only I have wished for this,
My dream is now the reality.

In wedded bliss
She did come
And here, yes here, she will stay.
A promise that she would be true
Through the compromise springtime
Did make.

She lights the endless hallways,
The darkways that incessantly drip
Sulfuric tendencies into my brain.
She is the lavender that dispells the molding dankness of this
hollowed abyss
It wafts through my nostrils, my muscles pulsate for her touch.

These Plutonian Shores,
So desolate that I droop like a dried up olive tree,
No sunlight comes here.
Her presence lightens the branches
And harvests my soul.
Death tolls every hour,
Minute,
Second of my life.

It is her, the fair light in eternal darkness.
