Graveyard Coffeehouse

Dark Forces

My Darling 
There is always a price
To be paid in blood
For sin
For blasphemy 
For desecration
And we have paid that price
Throughout time
With the blackness
Of the ages
As our bodies sought
Each other out
Only to collide 
And fade away 
As Death took 
Its due
Karma its price
For the wages of Sin
The massacres
Of days of old
When giants 
Walked the earth
And lovers loved hard
Living and dying
By the sword.

My eyes cry the tears of ages
When I think of you 
So close yet far away
For I feel you in my heart
Smell you 
Sense you
Your every movement
Emotion
I process it too
When you make love
And I walk with you
Though I am far away
Know this 
And realize 
That this is our time
After 1000 years
To be as one
And that the same Dark forces
Conspire 
To separate us again.

Right now as I write this poem
Wanting to love you
Feel you 
Make you mine
Wanting to come home again
To my ancient lover
My True Love
Who has been ripped from my grasp
Continually
Throughout history
Karma has opened a window
For us to find each other again
And combine after all
In lust and desire
Love and ecstasy
Dark forces conspire
To prevent that once more
My Love
My Darling
It is not destiny
But Dark forces
That will thwart our love
That is 
If we let it be.
