SANCTUARY

A voice in darkness some call Dream.
A visage of terror, lost to scream.
A muted cry, silenced in air,
Across the empty eyes of Despair.

On thy knees thou calls me Master,
Bearing, true, the kiss of Disaster.
What Silver Tongue hath laid to thee
Hath made thee thine own mockery.

Now cursed by thee, the witch revealed,
I smite thee with powers annealed.
Bear thy shame forever hence
The paradigm of consequence.

Question not these scouring eyes,
What deafened ears might realize .
Thou cried rape when he laid with thee,
While thine own eyes squealed with glee.

By prayer, by spell, be thou the caster,
A whore may only serve one Master.
Hence Pride and Hope never fled.
They're now but stains upon thy bed.

So lie awake sheltered within
Thy canopy of appointed sin.
Cry all to thy beloved Mother,
Didst thou not know Evil - my brother?

Lo, cumly wench, thou chose this path.
Thou cursed thy God, now feel His wrath.
May Darkness creep with thee by day,
May torment be the price ye pay.

By the very words thou canst unpen,
I bid you - Never Sleep Again!
Pretentious shame, thy cross to carry,
Hell be your only Sanctuary.

May Darkness find you all through the day.

Well-woven Darkness my friend. It says much in many layers and on many levels, both of you and your regard. Well met.

Thank you, Jenny,
I hope you didn't mind me using your "Dark Master" poem for inspiration.

In answer to your writers block question in the other post, let's just say I've been quite inspired of late.

Know that I will never mind any inspiration
that I may give.
But know this, you are an inspiration to others too.

Jeeze Michael, I'm reading poem after poem in here that you've written of late during my absence, and I hope I was not your inspiration ! Some of these chill me to the bone, as if dead. Powerful & full of vengence!!

chilling...awe inspiring...breathtaking...

It long has been since i have seen
words woven with precision, pristine..
I now feel inclined to pray for thee...
that someone dear can set thy soul free.

'Tho the poetry is beautiful, i do hope what ever is inspiring this ends for you soon.
