Dark One Deals

poem #2 of my Dark One series

I took up the
dagger.
Looking for power
and escape.
Now I carry
regrets.
I read thoughts
of the desperate.
Deal with rich
and poor alike.
Heart black
as coal and hands
sketched with cuts.
My skin is dirt
and faery dust.
I am power
and hidden feelings.
I'm a devil
a Dark One
Cast off from
humanity

I like this. It is the word 'power' which is at the heart of everything. In seems synonymous with life, but it definitely has negative associations, but life is power over the absence of life, which is not death, which has power over life. Ach, I am in knots (again)! Can you pls use your dagger to cut the knots? I wld decline and laugh from my cast off position.
