Eternal Night

Flickering dead stars, 
Black moon hearts,

Spectral milky smoke waves emerge,

Curl, twist,
Block out eternity,

Enraptured, 

No open door for me, 
No unlocked window for escape,

No elusions, 

For I have trapped myself - tonight,

Tumbling, turbulent clouds, 
Billow black as coal dust particles, 

Roll in with the foamy mists at high tide,

Within my room,
Total darkness of a blind man’s sight,

Foreboding Nephilim crush the beloved to clear his path,

Crickets, poisonous frogs, snakes crawl, sliver, disappear,

Hunter of the weak, 
Abandoned child, thumb sucking cherub,

Innocence killed, murdered, raped, total desolation,

An owl perched on a jagged oak branch, 
Hoots a warning,

As death Angels approach,

And within them, Lucifer floats,

A feast in his honor, 

     My spirit his appetizer,

My tears of regret, 

     His nectarous, salty, velvety wine,

My heartfelt, innocent love, 

     His debased gratification sauce,

My hopes and dreams, 

     His humiliation of me, 

          His all-time favorite entree, 

My aspirations, infection to hallucination, 

     His sweet digestif,

My desolate heart, 

     His rich, dark chocolate,

My-just-deserts,

I dare not close my eyes,
Though I cannot see, 

I dare note drift to sleep,
Though I am tired of living,

For my dreams, 

     Become his dreams,  

Whispers to my soul, 

     God does not exist,

Faith, 

     Nothing but a fool’s paradise lost,

I beg for mercy, 

I beg Satan not haunt me,

Demonic thief of children’s souls,

Fatherless-father,

     Seeds legions of hellion imps,

I crawl blindly to my knees,
Grope, pant,  

I suppliant my whole,

And Gabriel’s horn,
Pierces the clear celestial veil,

A simple prayer, 

A simple faith, 

As if I’m an innocent boy of eight,

No mother’s hug, 

No mother's kiss, 

No protective cloak from the sisters of fate,

As the devils deceit evaporates,

From darkness to light,

Through the windows of my soul,

Golden sun beams ignite life,

     A certainty I survived another night, 

     And the knowledge,

      I will seek to love,

     That I’ll be all right.
