that brought night's wind
once more to my door.
Too late for amends, to admit
that I need to depend;
tossed in my face once more.
For I, the treacherous mate,
have fallen into darkness so deep;
but long ago buried my dead.
Tonight, of nights, the dead walk.
Where, in my travesty of lies,
did I lose sight of reality?
Now, with long sight reacing back
it all seems so clear, so laid out.
Where did my footsteps go astray?
An image, two images, three;
like an opening floodgate, they return.
And with it, the tears of shame.
Winters day, in cold and bleak December;
your window's wide open, provoking shivers


The Beginning I break my normal form tonight to bring you thoughts of why?The Beginning by ~darkelfpoet
It was never for glory, wealth or such; indeed these I could never claim.
There lies within all a burning fire, from black heart to iron forge.
It is not to pay tribute or win such stuff, but bring you these thoughts of mine.
Imagine footsteps along a sandy beach,
picture the trails we have left behind.
Are there those who seek as I seek,

so long,
and shaken with every
thought.

Always to be unaware of your plight
Ignorant of the loudest of noises
Your gift to us, the brave
Whom spoke of what they feared
Banished to the blackest cave
The names we bear now smeared
Forgive us for loving, forgive us for caring
In the end, it is so plain to see
That while you spit and shout, without a doubt
You care for nothing and no one but he


Silent Voices Let the silent voice from within speakSilent Voices by ~darkelfpoet
And detail the secrets kept from thee
The thoughts hidden; myself grown meek
Never to reveal them to the naked day
Thinking perhaps, I've found what I seek
Never sure, always doubting in me
Searching for that all-revealing peek
What is revealed by light's first ray
My final thoughts stagger between rows
Never certain, never ceasing
These thoughts that only the Reaper knows
Eternally poking, eternally teasing
How would thee respond, if thee did know
Of the thoughts that go on too far below
What would thee say, if I began to reveal
The secrets I kept, in my unholy deal
Even now, the vaguene
