A Darker Dream

 

 
Living in empty shadows
  in the depth of darkness
    a darker dream prevails
 
 
 'Tis but a double edge sword
   both pain and pleasure
      of which I partake
 
 
  Descending,tasting the onyx abyss
   ascending,feeling a crystal zenith
      compelled to renew hell's pleasure
         repeating heaven's pain
 
 
Refilling,sating each sense deep within
   accepting the darker dreams
      as I gaze into hypnotic black light
 
 
Sublimely powerful, I feel eternity
   when darkness breathes
     bestowing serenity and suddenly
        I'm lost to a darker dream.

Twisted and delicious :P. This is wonderfully dark and creepy, but it captures the essence very well....a random question, how do you get pictures with your work? I've always wondered that :P I love this

This is so profoundly moving, pulling us into the depth and darkness of the dreamworld... You create a stunning visual and emotional place for us to walk... Simply amazing...
