In transfixed state
I lie awake,
A cawing crow
Predicts my fate
I hope to cross
The burning fire;
The bridge I walk
Is fraying wire.
In transfixed state
I lie awake,
A cawing crow
Predicts my fate
I hope to cross
The burning fire;
The bridge I walk
Is fraying wire.
In pain I dwell
With terror near;
My spirit dim,
And wracked with fear;
On anguished nights
I seek relief
With solemn eyes,
And tears of grief;
Inside a room
I lie awake
With trembling heart
And tempted fate;
I will survive;
I will survive;
I whisper under
Darkened skies.
On fearful nights
And morning’s dawn,
I lie awake
In transfixed form;
I drown in sorrow
With hopeless eyes
My plight is plagued
With darkened skies;
As thoughts consume
With reckless fright,
Again I face
The dreadful night.
There is a time
In life we know,
The depths of pain
When sorrows flow;
Inside my mind
Is where you’ll find
Where fires burn,
And billows blow;
I’d found a dream
In blessed light,
Till darkness robbed me
In the night;
It pulls me down;
It pulls me down;
With cruel intent,
And silent sound.
I have kissed you with the kisses of adoration; I have loved you with the love of the essence of my heart. Our connection was predicted by the stars and consummated under a harvest moon. The galaxies whisper our names in loving adoration and high regard. Every season our passion increases more and more. After the twilight, we will make love and renew our vows in the darkness of night. I will hold you loving and closely, as we look out of our window and gaze upon the heavenly glory of the starlight.
The darkness underneath seeks to pull me in. It wraps its fiery tentacles around me as they sear my skin. The cold and desolate realm awaits my arrival with sinister enthusiasm. With fierce determination I resist.
Haunting voices whisper words of despair and self doubt into my ears. It seeks to break my will. I am tired and worn, but I still have fight left in me. The dark place promises me it will take my pain away, if only I submit to its will and renounce my determination. It recites to me soft and sweet lullabies to cast me into a deep sleep; my eyes are closed but I am still awake. I am gaunt; I am weak, but my heart will not fail.
With flames of anger in my eyes, I balk at its proposal and mightily cry out for the light.
Impassioned feelings
Of love explode
As deep feelings
Are sincerely conveyed;
Precious tears of joy fall
As a lifelong commitment is made;
In sensual moments of intimacy,
The movie of our life is played;
The light of our love and passion
Will dwell amongst the starlight forever,
And never fade.
In my darkness
I call for heaven;
My portion has been
Pain and suffering;
In my thirst,
I seek an oasis;
My torment follows me
To different places;
On my journey of sorrow,
I see sad
And familiar faces;
Faces of melancholy,
And despair;
Faces of agony,
And fear;
For these sad faces
I shed a tear,
And hope they find happiness in time;
For the faces of sorrow
I see weeping before me,
Are all mine.
Although I have been unloved, I remain unbroken.
