This Dark Forest
Fate does not lead us
It is our choice
To go to the part of
The forest where the sun cannot penetrate
The dense leaves of green
That top massive trees
In darkness
We stumble
We fall
Into a pit
Down
Down
Down
Until we reach our own center of white bone
Locked inside the darkness
Inside ourselves
Courting Darkness Mr. Darkness I really cannot stop In for cakes and rose hip tea No I don't want walk in the woods And take dead words like hymns into my heart I'm not going place my body on a alter So you can take my secrets out and Leave me a ghost in a moving shell of flesh Like the mirror image, the female side of you We Met Vampires We met vampires Who called themselves 'Our contemporaries' Yet would not speak to us For we were not an image We were real Standing in the dark while they were Drinking to their lives From tall champagne glasses Thinking themselves immortals But rotting under frosted masks and redden lips Being consumed by their own drunken self importance Draining everything they needed From us Chocolate Vampires Creamy brown chocolate Marshmallow insides In vampire form We can't help Biting hard and sucking up The sweet center Leaving the sweet flesh for last And that is how we must taste With our red jell core To something so dead Valerie Hardin |
