Kingdom Come

Sometimes too much sunlight 
renders sparks upon my vision,
'til my peripheral grows tired
and I retreat in mind and silence
to back alley streets 
hosting scent of old blood,
where life crept in 
so fast it sung violence. 

I'm fascinated by traces
of sound between ticks
in our clockwork.
The things unseen,
spreading cracks without notice,
ever shaping our dreams.

I'm looking for monsters
in the places that belong to them,
the patterns to glean
from unwanted thread.
Would you come find me 
in the spaces you dread?

Then I am yours,
and you're my King.
