Dark Poet

You live in the light,

In the world where the sun rules all.

Where you all live in multi-story apartment blocks,

And have nice, big cars.

I do not live there.

You all think you live good lives,

Where you take your girlfriends and wives out,

To dine and wine them,

And give them expensive things.

I do not live there.

You have rules,

Laws,

Codes of conduct

That you must obey.

I do not.

You think you know pleasure.

Whether it be taking long romantic strolls

Or playing with your children,

Or even making love to your partner.

You don’t.

I do.

I know of pleasures

That would chill you to the bone.

I know of places without law and order.

I see deep into the deepest,

Darkest recesses of the human soul.

I live here.

Within you.

I am the Dark Poet.
