Dark Solace

By Riven Waker

I can scent your violet blood
Coursing beneath your pallid
   Skin

It has me crave for a taste
Of the purity of heavenly
   Form

A hominid cyclopean tarantula
I do not fight and need to no
   More

The border between precious
   Nightmares
And reviled bad dreams blurs

Held in thralldom for your god
Is naught but betrayal and
   Lies

I come from amongst the
   Forsaken
Like a great spear rising
From a scarring pyre

    I believe I am slowy taking a grasp on your work...I know the feeling...It's empowering to know you can escape from someone elses control over you
