Poem: "Into The Black"

"Into The Black"

Lost in fervent dreams
comes darkest night
when the wind howls
as she lies in bed

the huntress seethes
sleep evades her
elusive, it laughs
denying her
peace

she gets up
and goes to the window
and gazes at the coming storm
as the thunder rumbles
and the heavens
unleash their fury

she smiles
the princess of the darkness
and ventures into
the unknown jungle
of which there
is much pain and pleasure
to be had

her long black hair
drapes her beautiful face
her pale skin
illuminated by the moonlight

her heart
seeks the warmth
of her lover
now gone away

she has witnessed the wrath
of hell's damned
the mere thought of him
the object of her affection
and untamed desire

her beloved
lying uncovered on the bed
warms her cold heart
as she turns and heads for home

she whispers
I am the beautiful face
of night's demise

as she goes in search
for her beloved
something inside her stirs
as she smiles

the corners
of her aching mouth
dripping with her lover's blood.
