Open Up And I Will Be There Poem by John Duffy

Let me in
I whisper in the darkness
Across deep oceans and rocky shores

To warm you my love
For I am so hot

Let my whispered dark spells
Carried by grey smoke in the gushing winds

Reach those frozen tears

Falling from those beautiful eyes and reach deep into your lonely heart.

Feel it's red flame

Crimson
As it engulfs you with total ease

Hot to the touch like fire
So addictive and consuming

Like a rare expensive bottle of red wine
Bestowed from the dark one

Let me melt those cold glaciers that surround you with the soul-warming fires
Burning and spinning within my endless dark eyes

Feel the heat from my hands on your breast
The breath of my mouth

Tasting each word as your soul opens up it's dark doors and pleads to confess
No more to wait

But to climb my red ladder out of the darkness of Naamah's endless grey void

No more
to lie frozen under spells

Conjured by dark shadows from leather-bound grimoires from the Lesser Key of Solomon

As you bathe in deep silence under a darkened purple hued sky
Let that flame that once flickered so low but never died

Those discarded old dreams which once laid forgotten in old days and lonely nights

Come back to life as I force back Damballa's darkness with my shining Astral knife

Are you kneeling naked and vulnerable in your red room
Awaiting my soft touch

Can I baptise you like Saint John The Baptist
To walk knee-deep into new seas of Galilee

Is that low spark of Longing
On fire in your centre

Your precious altar

Aflame and burning so bright
Are you ready to get drunk on this lascivious potion I always carry

Stolen from the encampments on the perilous mountains of Asmodeus

Will you drink and feel the burn

To melt as all those old once hidden feelings slowly return
Will you then sleep
unfrozen as they creep in

Is it then you will ask me to take you under and whisper new spells
To listen as you confess when your soul no longer weeps
but yells
