Within

I 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.

I like those lines the best i believe.

I can just picture it, whimsical, dark, churning, like a storm cloud in a hollow ribcage...
