Desecrated grounds

Your willing footsteps sought my cemetery
it lay in ruins and smoke
scars buried in unmarked graves 
nocturnal beasts keeping vigil 

I kept the gates open 
in hope of your silhouette passing through 
chained to the dark
manacled by History
wounded by flaws 
wars I fought with my soul
a brute then born 

not of your suicide I wrote
sonnets of your life I found
blood my ink 
sweat my story
tears my pain

beauty to my beast 
angel to my demon
queen to my barbarian 

in the shadow of your black wings 
I wrap 
love unrefined 
lust infinite 
for YOU has been all
all of YOU is my world.
