Mistress Darkness

Poem Copyright 1996 Ingvild Gregersen http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5206/

Her cloak of shadows around her shoulders Her curves, pure invitations to every man's mind Her face of beauty, a mask to hide Such blinding maliciousness and hate entwined

She dwells in the deepest darkness but to human eyes she seems so light Her words are sweet and seducing yet taken from the depths of night

What does she feel this black angel of cruelty when she takes away the mind Of the strongest man kneeling at her feet as he faces pure evil from what seemed so kind

What pleasure does she possibly find this beauty and this horrible beast When she darkens the soul beneath her and with her words, insanity and pain are released

What savaged soul made by her is not haunted by the memories her doings possess Shivering, pale lips forms the hated name in fear For the dread of Mistress Darkness
