Full Darkness, No Stars
You walk outside and are struck
by the velvety blackness
you recall with bitterness
the night bringing that black buck
Yes he wooed her away
carried her off in darkness
no stars just a pitch blackness
in his bower with her lay
It was full darkness, no stars
my heart filled with bleakness
body shaking with coldness
trapped inside these steel bars
Beware the angel of dark
do not approach in blindness
take care to see it's grossness
be touched not by it's mark
