In The Dark

 

In the dark there are whispers,

Softly heard as if

They are the dark itself.

 

In the dark there are faces,

Softly seen as if

They are the dark itself.

 

In the dark there are bodies,

Softly felt as if

They are the dark itself.

 

In the dark there are presences,

Softly sensed as if

They are the dark itself.

 

In the dark,

One is treated with no respect or love.

It pulls you in like a black hole pulls

In light, as we are lights.

 

What is love but a river of blood

Flowing all too quickly into a vampire’s mouth.

 

Dwell on these thoughts.

 

Take a walk in the meadows . . .
