CLARIOR E TENEBRIS

LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS

GREETINGS and welcome to my new home here on the web. . I have recently relocated and plan on bringing you some of my contributions in the fields of short fiction, poetry and art. You may find my work somewhat dark in feeling, but then I find the darkness so alluring, so intoxicating. So please join me, if only for a while. Step into my world of sinister shadows and forbidden desires. I hope that you enjoy your stay.

CRUSHED

Demonic urges, whims and thoughts pervade
Like seeping mist through undefended walls
Seducing those unwary souls to heed
The lulling siren song of blessed death.

Angelic visage masking dark desires
Soft smiles that hide temptation with no heart
And dreams like scattered crisp gold autumn leaves
Lie trampled crushed and dead beneath his feet
November 1999

IN THRALL

Enchanments Master
Enslaving glances belie dangerous intent
Seductive sorcerer
Bending body and soul over whispered words
Hearts marauder
Welcoming arms toward the dangerous haven
Bloods imbiber
Diffusing cold flesh's life and strength
Desperations savior
Defining death from breath
October 1999
