Awaiting The Dark

January 24, 2024

Lost inside passion

with burning desire

Vision refocused

in tunnels of fire

Screams of delirium

christen the night

Darkness a metaphor

tainted delight

One then another

the virgins do fall

Lascivious demons

unleashed in the hall

Till daybreak approaches

new light on the way

The beast back in harness

—this evening to stray

(The New Room: January, 2024)
