With my darkling

0 posted 2003-04-06 05:16 PM


An emptiness, I'll fill,  I think
With bitterness and poison drink
My amber mistress, in a glass
She keeps me standing near the brink

Its past and pain, she numbs, she knows
With every drink, the darkling grows
My amber mistress, in a glass
She pays my price in coin she chose

I raise my crystal, in salute
I laugh and know she'll follow suit
My amber mistress in a glass
We toast to weakness,  undilute

She whispers, take me, I am yours
I'll hide your  pain behind locked doors
My amber mistress in a glass
Will save my soul, so she assures

You sent me back to Poe time once more, Jason.  How do you achieve such astonishing musical effects in perfect meter in your work!  You got me asking for mo' Po', Please!But until the next lyrical write, salute to weakness as I raise my wine glass to your amber mistress!
