Halls of the Dark Muse

Written as a response/counter to the poem Nevermore. They are both poems of a personal nature. Written about two different individuals. One from the past, one of the present/future.

Take Me There

I caught your image
within the firelight
wavering within my eye
bathed within your aura,
a heat which was all yours.

I trembled
held unable to move
for fear to cause a ripple
in the air would break the spell
and all would be but a dream,
watching you disappear.

But I could not resist
the pull towards you
the need for you to banish
my ghosts.

You are my salvation
burning the bridges
of the past so we may
stand alone with no way
to turn back.

And I will walk
gentle into the goodnight
with your hand in mine.
