Your double slit
A darkness vast and pure,
Like mist through woodland trees
Come here to my heart
Squeeze the muscle dry
Wander me in forests where
The ancient trolls still roam
Desert me on the mountains
Bare like vultured vile bones
A moon I see above my forest,
No light can pierce my mind
I wouldn't wish a soul to see
This horror through
My bleeding eyes-

This kingdom rising falling,
Like a ripple through a swamp
Which relect the marsh-light and the faires,
Drowning while a hooded man
Looks on and as the hood burst into flame
I see the eyes that bleed

I know that I will always be
Alone besides this altar, black.
Filling vessels for the serpents
From which to drink the vine of souls
Vessels wrought of infant skulls
And bejewelled by infant earths

Marble scars still trace the paths
A soul has walked through dreadful woods
The lights that danced between the trees
Are memories of all mankind
Screaming, in eternity.

I can really relate to that right now...going through a bit of a rough spot myself, you see. Reading that make me feel almost better, in a way.

Nice! Very gothic imagery, when it rhymes it rhymes well. Very dark and brooding. Been listening to just a bit of black metal lately mate? ;)

How'd ya know?

Actually, I write lots of dark poetry, simply putting together disonant images. But the inspiration is defintely the Norwegan black metal lyrics.... Though I got the idea from a weird nightwalk I did in Tassie several years back.

I like to think darkness is more an absence of light wherein shadws themselves illuminate.
 
I don't know what you mean by the title of this. You string them along pretty well.

The cadence and style it's written in remind me of ballad's: people like Meg Baird and Nick Drake but the subject is very dark, and indistinct. Menacing like Black metal mood and lyrics.
