The first part of a 3 part Poem within From Darkness ... Light
Darkness
In the darkness, I sit patiently
Waiting for her to arrive on bended knee
And then she, a beauty unmatched, shall sing.
To my door, a man, a terrible thing, she will bring
Some wrong he has contrived against Beauty
An act he will pay for tragically
From the darkness, I come through.
Bravely the man, in knightly armor, stands for a time
Until he sees me and knows what has been done.
He turns to her, and sees scorn, no time to run.
My claws tear through his steel, flesh, and grime.
His death is delicious as I chew.
Outside the darkness, I see my Sun
Shining and lovely in these moments we meet
She strokes my hair and I close my eyes, vulnerable,
Helpless and vindicated for being as I am, horrible,
My heart and soul, dark dirty, I lay bare at her feet.
She smiles proud at the bad I've done.
Back into the darkness, I'm told to go,
I resist and purr gently, a monster I say no more
Her smile fades and I know what I am and have to do
Each step away, pain, back inside without my love true
I know I'm something grotesque covered in gore
But I'm her's and this I will continue to show.
The Darkness, my home to hide below
Conceals all that I am so that none may see
My rage, my ugliness, my scars, the sweet anguish of my love
Within the pitch blackness I am free from the world above
It is here there is no judgment of you and me.
I can't help who I am and must abide, so,
In the darkness, I sit patiently
Waiting for her to arrive on bended knee
And then she, a beauty unmatched, shall sing.
To my door, a man, a terrible thing, she will bring
Some wrong he has contrived against Beauty
An act he will pay for tragically
From Darkness... Light
