“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

Winston Churchill

A Deep Poem. Nice!!!

bluespice:
Why does the dark feel so wrong?

why does evil bring no pain?

alas, the time has come,

it's time for me to awaken my self

my beautiful demon,

flawless and beautiful even in death

awake my beloved and come make wrong this right world

let me breathe life into you

you have been asleep for too long

but the time has come for you to awaken

rise my darling

rise and come dine with me

come ,lets feast on the souls of men

get drunk on their hopelessness

come lets make a banquet of the fears of men

bask in the tears of the dying

arise my dearest

for the world calls

hearken the voice of the homeless

heed the cry of the suffering

how long your sleep has been

but the time is now

the time has come for you my fair one to glow

to glow with ur ethereal beauty

beauty, that endears you to the living

arise my love,

the dark beckons.
