Love’s Sacrifice – part 6

Desktop Nexus: Kiss

To embrace darkness
is to be lost.
I do not wish to be lost
yet I will not give you
what you want.
There is no hatred in my heart,
no guilt to be found
for none has been earned.
I came here
free of will.
I chose to follow
that which you do not have.
I chose to follow
my heart.
I chose love.

This is something that came to me yesterday while driving. I was listening to Phil Collin’s In The Air Tonight. I let it simmer overnight and began writing this morning with that song playing in the background. The poem seems to have taken on a life of its own. We will see where it goes, together.

Fire Princess
Desktop Nexus: Fire Princess

You beg me?
You who betray me,
defy me
at every turn?
Your promises
mean nothing.
You already belong to me
and now so does
she.
You have only yourself
to blame.
What happens next
is your doing.
She will embrace the darkness
or she will be lost.
There is no other recourse,
there is nothing you can say
or do
to change my mind.
I will not be ignored by you
any longer.
Your punishment will be
to live with your guilt,
with her hatred,
for the rest of
eternity.

Kneeling Man
Source: Unknown

NO!
You have taken everything from me.
My freedom,
my will,
my soul.
I beg of you,
do not take my sanity,
my heart.
Do not tarnish that which is so
pure.
I will give you whatever you wish,
obey your every command
if only you release her.
Please,
My Lady,
do not do this.

Into the light, or into the deepest parts of hell.

Darkness Awaits
Desktop Nexus: Darkness Awaits

Why do you haunt me so?
I banish you from my waking thoughts
only to dream of you in restless sleep.
Your cold blue eyes
see deep into my mind,
my soul.
Your touch sears me
leaving me craving more.
I no longer fear you
and that terrifies me.
The shadow deepens,
we are not alone.
There is another,
a presence with in.
Full of malice,
ill intent.
Who is it?
What does it want from me?
Where have you gone?
Save me
before I am
lost.

What I know is that there is more.
Much more.

Stunning Eyes and Face

Desktop Nexus: Stunning Eyes and Face

You think you know me,
what I am,
what I can do.
Do not judge me
by my actions.
You do not know my story,
who owns my soul.
I am a puppet
with an unforgiving master
who know my weakness.
Who knows about
You.
I frighten you?
Good.
Your fear will keep you safe,
protected
from creatures made of darkness.
From me.

Blue Eyes Innocence
Desktop Nexus: Blue Eyes Innocence

You don’t think I see you
lurking in the shadows,
watching,
waiting.
I remember what you did.
Remember with vivid clarity
every
agonizing
detail.
Your cold eyes
haunt my dreams,
my waking hours.
Go back to the shadows
where creatures of darkness
dwell.
Go back
and haunt me no more.

You Are Dead to Me

Do you truely hate me that much?
Is there anyone safe from your wrath?
You chose your path.
Do not blame me
if the outcome is not what
you thought it would be.
I warned you of the consequences.
Now all you have left
is to live with them.
Take your fury,
your vengeance,
and leave here.
Never darken my doorway
again,
or the pain you feel now
will be nothing compared
to the agony you will endure
if I or any if my clan
lays eyes on you
again.
You are dead to me.
Leave or feel my wrath,
and know what true vengeance
is.

Endure

 

Waves crashing

lightning strike

the storm mimics a broken heart tonight

tears of anger

tears of joy

through rain or shine

I will endure

Danger Around Us – From Destiny Series

Image: Desktop Nexus
Image: Desktop Nexus

I was swept away
could not see
the danger that surrounds you,
surrounds me.
Emotions are high
as each word lies are bared.
The world spins out of control
betrayal runs deep,
time is not on our side
evil lurks in misty shadow
waiting
biding its time.
For evil that hunts us
knows the opportunity will come
when our defenses are weak
when our eyes see none.
Then at his mercy we will be
our end is his goal.
Our fate in the hands
of destiny’s cold hold.
