Me

my soul
is old
by birth
dark
by nature
my heart
is bleeding
yet still
beating

I am wise
wicked
seductive
like a spider
with a web
of mystery
to entangle
your heart
and soul

I am
a poetess
a pianist
a witch
well maybe
an angel
a demon
a princess
most definitely

my salvation
is music
my savior
writing
my escape
dreaming

if you choose
to enter
my world
of magic
and mystery
you must first
embrace
the darkness
as I have

reveal
to me
your soul
your hopes
your dreams
your fantasies
your darkest horrors
your deepest longings
learning mine as well

allow
your spirit
to begin
a dance
with mine
look
into my eyes
and tell me
what you see

I challenge you
to take me
from within
the shadowy depths
of your dream
and make me
your reality
