DARK LOVER



such a dreadful thing has happened 
On her way through life
She met a man who had
 a dog 
a cat 
and then 
a wife 
a surly guy with bitter needs 
like chocolate 
Wanting 
more than greed

She had his picture in her eyes 
his face was fair his eyes were wide 
and in the moment their minds locked 
She saw herself inside and flocked 
to all the places in him deep 
began to know him wake and sleep
and when he came to her in dreams 
She'd walk his
 Land and be his schemes


The darkest Hollow feeling lurched 
 Empty as a derelict Church 
and twice as cold 
and thoughtless
Heart 
A faithful pain
 that never parts 
began to hang around...

It nurtured all the feelings 
 inadaquate and hurt
 and raised  it's head to cleanse away
 The Guilt
The Shame
The Dirt

For he was the Darkest Lover 
hidden in her undergrowth 
the darkest lover 
of them all

Who would  
when fancy took him

Sometimes
Come to call...
