Into the Blue (Part VI) – The Dark
For our next journey in the Blue
I ask you to remove your shoes
And let me give the Wolf your sight
You must now walk alone, and go beyond the light
Feel the stagnant sludge ooze between your toes
Sending waves of foulest thoughts straight up to your mind
Feel the hairs stand upon your neck
In the terror of what is behind
Feel the claws of aged crones
Running through your hair
And listen to their piercing cackle
As they tear flesh to leave bones bare
Feel the desolation as your screams evaporate unheard
Compounded by insane laughter dragging tears from blinded eyes
Feel evil spirits punch their way through heaving chest
And taking out your soul, licking with barbed tongues, their ill-begotten prize
Feel the blades of Darkness slicing through your brain
Taking only thoughts of good, and leaving you the pain
Hear the howls of famished hounds now baying for your blood
And feel the hand of Satan hold your face down in the mud
Feel the powerlessness given by the Darkness
Plead mercy for release from fear
Pray to all that's Holy
You don't have to live your life in here
Apologies my Angel, this is the other side of Love
Where you befriend the vultures and feast upon the Dove
Where shadows are embodied
And block passage to light above
I have spent so long in this fetid hell
Since reading the letter saying I was not the one
And for release from it's enslavement
I had to show you what your words had done
I know this may surprise you
But I would stay here time eternal
And lie down in it's stench
In payment for just one more moment, with you upon our bench
Of course, this will not happen
The Wolf has made me see
That the need for your love is my prison
And to let it go will set me free
I do not wish to leave you
In this place and with these thoughts upon your mind
Let us take one more journey
And perhaps more pleasures the Blue will let us find...
