WithinA Poem by Black Rose SeraphimI watch with eyes unclouded and smile through the frame. I break the cage ungilded, the lover you can't tame. Through velvet tears and crimson silk I see with eyes wide shut. These wings are made of gossamer, a steel you cannot cut.
I bleed this rain of fury, and my laughter shatters truth. I meld the shattered mirror, and break the seamless proof. My soul reflects the candle, with blade to break the day. I whisper lies of shadow, and breath what dead men say.
Unforgiving hands of ash and silk, to touch, to taste to know. I hold my heart in silver chains, through eyes of golden glow. You who fear me know too well, the pleasure and the pain. I smile to watch you shiver, and 'round we go again.
So beg the winter, beg the dark, Beg the one who has no heart.
