I step out
Into the darkness
A passing mist
Gently brushes my skin
And dances
Across my cheek.
I dare not wipe it away,
For fear
Its magic could
Quite quickly disappear
So I let it linger,
Color the starkness
Caressing me,
I savor this wicked sin
Like a lover’s kiss,
It is what I seek.

I close my eyes, a flash of light
Kinetic energy splits the night
Over and over, no end in sight
Why does the silence plague me?
No sounds, all thoughts are muted
For this I am no longer suited
Hoping for signs, yet refuted
Looking for someone to save me
Thrown to the shadows, so bleak
Is it the light, I constantly seek?
Body used, my mind, too weak
Letting go, the will you gave me
Turn toward the darkness, unspoken
My spirit is tired and broken
Captured in a tomb, I soak in
The power you have to enslave me

Can you tell me, wise old sage
What lies beyond the gate?
Will I journey through them?
And tempt the hands of fate
They say you are the only one
Who can tell my future true
I am here to listen closely
To the wisdom, that is you
In the setting sun of evening
With the stars that shine so bright
I’ll wait here, in the darkness
With you, as my guiding light
I’ll stand here and I’ll wonder
If you’ll ever let me see
What it is inside the gate
That’s waiting just for me

The place where silence had a voice
Called to mind, but not by choice
The one she knew, who she was
Now no clue, and just because
Her life had left her, far behind
Harsh words, unsaid, so unkind
Failed her, in her darkest hours
Waited, as her heart grew sour
No noise was heard, as she spoke
No words uttered, nor evoked
The silence, had taken her last chance
No doubt, this was not happenstance
For she knew who caused this to occur
The one they called “The Saboteur”
Silent, every word, spewed madness
Her heart, overflowed, with sadness
No way to break him, this grim reaper
She knew he’d find a way, to keep her
