William A Russell Poet Free verse

Step Into Darkness......

A feeling from nowhere kindles 
  The flame 
 I step into darkness
Caressing the pain
  Embracing emptiness
  Flirting with death
A fight between anger and sadness
     Into the darkness
Nowhere left to leave
So I long to bleed
A crimson Red
The lonely dead 
forever seek the warmth
But cold inside                                                                          
  forever rides
Pale a winters horse
Pray release My heavens
Yet bound by earthen bones
Always there are the shadows
Alone….alone…..alone……..
