Lone DefenderShow stories

Look to heaven, the darkening skies;
Find my face in thunder and rain.
Power of rapture leading you home,
Heating your blood and driving you on.
Whispers of passion, a breath of sweet pain;
Give in to me...and begin again.

I am the demon that haunts your night,
The follower of none that burdens your sight,
A gleam of something more hidden in your eyes.
A promise of evil, a symphony of lies.
Forbidden jealousy and carnal delights,
Mingled with the poison of lust-filled nights.

I am hunger and longing for what cannot be,
A fallen angel's breath, tormented eternity.
Raise your eyes and find me...standing tall, alone.
Reach for me and touch my hand,
A brush of life...then beauty's gone.

    I love your poem on your face page. I've had demons haunt my night. Actually that is where some of my best stories and poems come from.
