In her thoughts, she could see only him

Hear the sound of his voice, a whisper

Sending shivers through her body

Her unassuming, unpretentious ways

Giving delight to his darkness

While deep inside of him, lurking

Where he found her most amusing

He would watch her from afar

Never close enough for her to feel

He was merely a distant pleasure

In the madness of her mind

The steeple bells ring, this Halloween night

Blackest of ravens, begin their flight

Seeking out all, who no longer breathe

Flying about, they impatiently seethe

They must bring one back, the bell man said

Or they would, surely, be the next ones dead

Squawking to each other, they spied down below

The perfect specimen, on which they’d bestow

The terror of those which swoop down on one

Taunting and teasing, all this for fun

Until tired and spent, a human’s lament

Is carried away, in the claws of torment

Hidden where the spirits loom

Their shelters torn and tattered

Ethereal beings meet their doom

Lost souls about are scattered

Perched upon her marble tomb

Her body broken, battered

No pleasure left, all consumed

A life once whole, now shattered

In the dank and misty gloom

The shadow of a figure lies….

 

….Darkness prevails when an angel dies

Peaking round in darkened sky

He keeps himself obscured, but why?

Hanging so freely, in the night

Yet only shares his partial light

Enough to let you see him there

Enough to know he’s quite aware

That on his deepest, darkest side

Are secrets kept, those which he hides

Away from the sun, they’re never seen

Sharing only the glow of his golden citrine

Allowing him to linger, in color, so grand

A light in the sky, the heavens high command

As darkness fell, the crickets sang

Birds fell silent, nothing rang

Just the rustle of leafy trees

Bowing to the gentle breeze

A coolness in the air was felt

As suddenly, the sun would melt

Into one, when the moon did cover

Taking her, as his daytime lover
