    Vividly Dark

    I will not paint you a picture

    Of love and rainbows

    I know not the colors

    That belong in that scene

     

    Instead I will paint you a picture

    Blended into a whirlwind of colors

    Like a visceral rendition of a Picasso on acid

     

    I will run you through a forest

    Of green trees and newly budded flowers

    And watch your face as I transform them

    Into rotting corpses dripping with blood

     

    I will hold you close to my heart

    With fevered skin and heaving chest

    And feel you recoil

    When they become skeletal arms

    And decaying flesh

     

    I will kiss you deeply drinking you in

    Intoxicating you with carnal desire

    And I will feel you choking

    As you taste the rotten explosion

    Of blood soaked honey

     

    I will write you a sonnet

    Drowning in raindrops of love

    And watch you become blinded

    When I twist the words

    With contagious cynicism and bits of your soul

     

    But you will not fall from my embrace

    You will not flee from lust’s caress

    You will not fear my sorrowful soul

    You will not free me from the dark

     

    You will simply love me for me

    Darkness and all

    You paint the most macabre scenes I have ever had the pleasure to imagine. You make me see beautiful rainbow colors only to smear them into a hellish portrait. You take me to a lush green forest only to destroy it and drape rotting corpses from the limbs. You speak of love, but only so you may take my soul and drain me of life. But, I'll be back. You are still my favorite dark poet. TS

    I do love you for your darkness and for all of the reflections you do not leave in mirrors: a masterful write from the Goddess Of Dark Light.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
