The Shadows that Bind

by Fleedleflump


The darkness beckons ever unto me,
an eldritch twig-like knuckle in the lee
of falsehood’s hope that I can ever be
arisen from the shadows none can see

to balance on the cusp of my restraint
and sparkle like a diamond in the night,
reflecting beauty’s rays without complaint
to tempt not adoration, but in sight

describe a world where understanding’s peace
can echo through life's hallways with a sigh.
Alas, temptation strove for a release -
a shadow-shrouded silent mind, am I

forever unto never to be free,
for darkness beckons ever unto me.
