You hold me captive in your shadow,
You smite my face and make me weep.
Tho’ you have claimed all my possessions,
~ My faith and virtues I deem to keep.

Your evil ways ~ they cannot harm me,
As I ascend above the Dark.
Demons yowling in the caverns,
Deep within your raven’s heart.

Icy fingers probing inwards,
~ They dig in to the depths of me.
Tho’ flesh be locked in your possession,
My soul will be forever free.

whewwww, outstanding!!!

This was like reading Poe, or a Halloween Poem...tremendous visuals..although, if someone has hurt you as such, I feel very bad for the both of you.  We humans can sometimes be so thoughtless and cruel.  

You've penned the pain of such very well.

and I quote:
"For what is evil but good tortured
by its own hunger and thirst?
Verily when good is hungry
it seeks food even in dark caves,
and when it thirsts
it drinks even of dead waters.
You are good when you are one with yourself."

You've got it down, sweet Earth Angel.
Smiling at you....

I enjoy writing on the Dark side ~ but I usually have to add some Light to brighten it up a bit! lol

We do live in a yin yangy world! Though I be female and therefore yin, my yang is bright and light!

Margherita ~

My life is light and bright! But at times it can be quite a battle to keep it that way! lol

This was a Halloween love poem!
It was fun to write. I really got into it. In fact I was writing down the words as I was verbalizing them. Hmm...got me to wondering about what else is inside me waiting to come out! ~ and go bump in the middle of the night!

Happy Halloweeny Hugs and a "BOO!"
