Daemon

Startled I see my dream again tonight
Awaking from within me deepest fright
Creeping from out my misty eyed slumber
The beast inside me began to lumber

Catching myself in front of the mirror
Your eyes beside me, your shrieks of terror
Wax smelt courage, your trigger finger slight
Now you see me in a different light

Soft moonlighted skin dotted with twin holes
For my ravens guide me to sinful souls
Now conjuring up your holy spirits
Refuse you the truth because you fear it

And yet again I wake a lonely Knight
My dear, come here, promise I won't bite

Heavy poem, deep, a bit dark.... but creative and a well crafted voice; no need to justify 'ethics' here --- you're expressing pure emotion sincerely, a 'darkling' love in mid night, love it!
