Darkness lures


Once darkness lures At corner street Watching man pass And woman bleed With eyes that know No rest in deed And hands that grab With scars that weep You stop at it Full force bestowed Falls down a veil long wrapped and worn In awe you look -was i so blind? So restless vain Fulish and kind? The darkness in Full action speed Strikes with a hand you feel quite steep As sudden can a thunder be So was the move That wretched me And gone it was While I in pain The veil fell down No eyes dismayed Here lied the great king It read the lines At night awake you lie in bed Wishing for dreams to start the tale
