Shade

My Dark Lady Of Shadows
the comforting of your shade
gave respite in a desolate place
your healing waters
an oasis for my soul
your touch the spark of life
for a dead man
your scent a healing draught
for a mad man
I found respite in a desolate place
in the shade you gave my heart
My Dark Lady Of Shadows
in your darkness
lay the Great Mysteries
of Life and Love.
To reach them
I must travel through
your nightmares
to deliver you my Hell.
My only solace
are dreams of heaven
which fuel my strength
to rebel.
In my mind you are still
that Dark Lady
the lovely madness of
a moonless night
that eternally drives
a man crazy.
