| The Rules
The Rules ...by Me.
Under the clouds of a different sky,
Walking the ‘earth’ of an unknown place,
Ticking the time of some other dimension,
Shudder! Then learn of which rules you now face.
Flights of fancy aborted so quick,
Narrative flights soon grounded and killed,
If your rules don’t scan without hesitancy,
Fall under the spell of another’s will.
What of the crosses that barricade?
Have you the strength to withstand the sight
of blood, of rivers ran red, and burnt,
Are you filled with pure terror or impure delight?
What of reflections, that stare through to souls
under the roof in forbidden ground?
The rules that bind must dictate your life.
Know them you must, lest your heart be found.
What is different about lust and fear?
Who must believe it to render it truth?
Where does the passion burn hotter - in elders?
Does danger lay greater when hidden in the youth?
Under more skies of different colours,
Stolen embraces take more than they give,
If once on the path you cannot retreat,
Perhaps it is better, perhaps worse to live.
Your darkness, an omen of death in the night,
From you, my worst fear, keeps me away.
Your dark attraction; my deepest delight,
The rules have confused me, but I want to play.
Further to my New Year's resolution, I'm showin' off some poetry. Wrote this ages ago, but haven't written anythin' new for months, and have never posted anythin' on here, so somethin' old will need to do.
I'm not a goth, by the way.
