Night shades beckon my steps,
out from under the burnished bright light
that lays claim to my borrowed innocence.

A warm and calming embrace
I'd welcome now,
if only to remain hidden
from the sun's return.

So I walk

out into my allotted time,
giddy and aroused,
sated from rage for a moment
as my pace quickens
imperceptively to her senses,
in terrible response
to the only way I have known,

so long

that God on high, the laughable mentor
can truly say alone.
For this unholy tryst
holds no quarter with the Mocker
save the sordid need to watch.

Look well,
for the dead breeds tonight
with a prayer
for the poor, wretched soul
given to the darkness...

freely forsaken by the almighty.

A love broken,
another faith cast aside.
And in the sanctioned strike
my acquittal hangs until dawn.

makes me wonder.. 'forsaken'? or was it the 'faith cast aside'? hmm.. this is an excellent write, makes a person think hard. Enjoyed.

Always, Alyssa
