This Dark Heaven

this dark heaven this treasured place a promise of pleasure the stain of human gesture brought and sold bleak for its beauties of the eye to behold strained against the leash which holds it to the street it too has dreams wishes held close to the heart spoken aloud only in whispers of the night faces carved with the eloquence of once loved and lost caress becomes sinister in this piecemeal love affair smiles become shells for the lies told only the twenty pieces of silver accepted only the once innocent soul sold all too soon i must flee this dark romance all too soon the morning sun will reveal this dark heaven on her way home
