Dark Prince

Dark Prince

For as long as I can remember

The night has been my friend

My solace

My passion

My comfort

When life is closing in

I walk beneath the stars

And imagine you are just out of reach

Words begin to flow out

As my soul, you proceed to breach

I tell you how I have missed you

And wish you would appear

My prince of hollow darkness

My shadow walking dear

All through life’s pain and sorrow

When the moon would rise above

I would seek out my night companion

I would search for you my love

Never allowed to see your face

I yearn

I crave

I need

The passion only you can bring me

My lover’s fantasy

Oh, how I wish to see your face

Or hear you say my name

The secrecy tears me apart

My soul, you are here to claim

I close my eyes, and feel you there

A lost shadow in the night

Only to vanish just as quickly

With the dawning of morning's light
