Darkness My Mistress Poem by Trevor McLeod

Darkness My Mistress



Darkness has come
Embracing me with velvet arms
I surrender to her touch
She whispers her love to me
but I know she has none
and yet I find I cannot
turn from her embrace
She may lie to me
but she has always been there
Some say fear the dark
some say only the light can love
Yet I have walked the light
and I find that I am no longer
a son of the light
my heart has known to much pain
I have shunned the light for so long
I am no longer welcome
so I return the embrace
of my dark lover
though I know she lies to me
I do not lie to her
as I whisper back to her
