shadows (Photo credit: mojoey)
Darker shadows suspended
Above particles of falling light
A raven wing fluttering
Amidst the sea of curtains
Wafted in the breeze
I thought my heart would freeze
To see you on the stair
Just standing there in thought
Long before twilight
One part ghoul you simmer
A moment before the boil
And of your intent the faintest glimmer
I should not presume
Long afternoons idly drifting to
A moment of dread and stark revenge
You’re bleeding out the innocence
As though this might appease
A deathly god you hold so close
The shadowy curtain falls
A guillotine upon a fine, slim neck
Remembering other times
I’ve waited far too long for this
Your twisted, deadly lover’s kiss
And all we were
What’s gone before
Just debris on the dirty floor

Very intense, Sis! I remember when I was little how shadows would scare me. This brought me back to those thoughts. Dust particles floating in the air were always little fairies coming to the rescue. lol Well done, Sis!! 🙂
