Touching Darkness

I sit alone in my bedroom

I lie alone it what will one day be my tomb

I close my eyes and

Slowly extend my hand

I feel it now upon me

That luscious thing I cannot see

It is a rose petal on my fingertips

Spider silk upon my lips

Touching darkness, a dangerous thing

But it makes my heart sing

I an consumed by my dark lover

It is I she covers

She whispers to me words of deadliest desire

But there is no burning fire

Only blessed cool chills of night

I slip into the world of no light

Here I am King

Oh, touching darkness, the joy it brings
