To save the soul from sinful maw
of lusting fires that scorch and burn
and bring to heart the jagged flaw
in selfish minds of wicked churn.

The vine of wind in sprout and mesh
of tendrils seek of plundering.
To find the soft of warmest flesh
within the night’s still welcoming.

As clouds of dark before the moon
now hide the glean of wicked eye.
Where howl eyes bay the echoes croon
the chasm heavy ‘neath the sky.

Soft beat of heart and sleek of skin
now guards one self from dreaded touch
as shivers come the pale of when
before the fall of lover’s crush.

Pray not the doom shall come to thee,
shall take the fire of passions bright.
Pray not the mind shall wake to see
the shadow’s lurk on darkest night.

As shadows dance from blaze in roar
and fireside chats retain the lore.

A shiver in this, more than one.  Even in the dark of drear..when writing fear...you write so well!

Cold hands means a warm heart

Yes, even in the darkest writing, you shine! Enjoyed.

The White Rose~
A simple expression
of classic beauty.
