The night was lonely
the cloud hugged the moon
The cold all others felt
in the street the urchin strode

Young, dark with dead eyes
He stared across the night
hungry for his victim
the worthy the superior

The flash of the night
The last light in dark
awakening an urchins mind
The prey was on the move

The night was beautiful
The day was past
As was the glorious party
were beauty had him

The eyes of a princess
held him now
high above the filth
In a place untouched

No weight was felt
on expensive boots
floating as the cloud
eating the moon

The claws unsheathed
glittered in headlights
a prize waited in the night
It was close the taste of him

His beauty was in his mind
her lips captivating
hypnotic like a snake
unprepared and stunned

Fate decrees these men meet
Fate take the life of one
Fate can be cruel
Is this all we feel  


Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis

dark cryptic weave here walter...
excellent imagery...
chilling and hauntedly lovely in its darkness
who can answer fate's questions...
take care

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
