When she appeared to me

Like all visions, she promised me everything

Then a feeling overcame

Something I can't explain

Why

It's something I find so hard to believe
In anything of what was, what is, or what was supposed to be

"It's all so clear-" she says- "only you refuse to see,

even if the truth were realized right there before your

very eyes..."

I think I'm hypnotized

-by-

Her standing there

Illuminated by the silver moon

A grace through which she moves, bending time

While I, lie, still-exposed in my

self-composed and divested shame
Then I, feel inside, I feel like something in me's changed

I'm pained by a wound so deep

A wound so deep it bleeds

It bleeds for her

Such sweet temptation

For you I'd do any and everything

To prove myself to you

A need to justify, why, I find it so hard to explain

Something about her's changed

She seems to fade away

Till she's almost too phaint-too-see...

The Opening

by

Tmvg

"What are you!?"

It makes no sound. Moments ago, it seemed to leap but soundless, from out of nowhere, moving too fast to be seen; over into the shadow outside the sphere of candlelight...

And I mustn't exit the circle. The covenant decrees- Be Warned!: Notice Not that which may be Lurking in the Shadows... Once the Gate has been Opened, and Until it finally Closes, Only Death Exists Outside the Circle...

It only makes a deep, wheezing/breathing sound, and sometimes a scuff on the floor as if it shifted a weight much heavier than it would appear to have.

But unmistakable there, even in the dark, are its eyes! Cold, like stone... Or a chilling flame... Watching... Even in the shadow, it seems they reflect back the candlelight which does not even reach them...
