Array ( [sid] => 32387 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Blacker than Black [time] => 2004-01-22 12:48:12 [hometext] => *A weird, dark and mysterious love poem* [bodytext] => Shadows of your vanity
Such intolerable cruelty
Visions of your entrapment
Peril at your best

Tighten up your lips
Eyes say it all
Candles flicker from the pain
Darkness takes my soul

It’s the time of your life
Wishing upon this night
Daydreams that turn into nightmares
As my heart pulls further away

And yet the darkness calls unto you
Drowning you ever more
Ships of dying souls-
Are you to cross that path?

An imaginative dream
All inside your head
Your wishes never filled
Burning at your best

Reason with me why don’t you?
Tell me of your past
Teach me all the ways
Ways into the dark

The Light vanishes,
Flickers away
Your eyes close
And another day wanes

Yet that face is still in your mind
Losing all control
Reaching ever more
Into somebody else’s soul

But your heart speaks for no one
All except me
Still here waiting for your return
Return from somewhere unseen

Its this uncertainty of your madness
That drives me wild with fear
Yet I love you more than the heart knows
A heart that is Blacker than black

Great write-one of your best.
I also know what its like to wait for someone who never comes back(excuse me, I just feel a little emotional right now, give me a second...deep breaths) I'm alright now...I'm fine. Breath...
But seriously-nicely done, see you soon.
