Darkest Black
I once dreamt a dream in darkest black.
The deep void within the bounds,
The endless solitude.
No light to guide, but blackness follows
Her beautiful maiden, a deathly hallow.
Her lurking shadow
Feeds off on me.
Her gritty teeth piercing
Deep inside me.
I lay still.
Unable, unwilling to move
Out of darkness' deepest spell.
She lays beside me,
Holding me, preserving me.
And her sister Light has escaped from me.
And so I dreamt a dream of darkest black.
Not a nightmare, only a ceaseless passage -
Taking me on sleep's miscarriage.
