Osificurc The Mage - Selected Poems

            Darker Of Heart

Fire burns and makes its mark, 

Upon this parchment born from bark, 

And in the flames way down deep, 

An evil lives and never sleeps.

Way down deep in the darkest wells, 

That is where the evil dwells, 

I have seen it clear as night, 

And it has heard of my plight.

I fear now it knows my name, 

But I cannot deride its game, 

It wants to play with me I think, 

To feel its will into me sink.

For I am the evil that you see, 

And I am the darkness, in which it breathes, 

I am its link to the past and the present, 

The life of its future no ordinary peasant.

For I am the one who was born of its seed, 

I am the child who partook of its deeds, 

I was there to drink when it bleeds, 

I am its heart the one it so needs.

When all has begun and finished as well, 

And when no longer in my heart does it dwell, 

That is when I will finally be free, 

A time to go forth an destroy all I see.

For then my power will be my own, 

A time to reap that which was sewn, 

From this time on my plague will spread, 

And my entire paradigm has been shed.

And for a time all will fear, 

And you my girl must shed a tear, 

For all those lost forgotten souls, 

Who quenched my thirst and never got old.

In time my dear you will see, 

That which I was can no longer be, 

And that which I am is stronger of will, 

But darker of heart and evil still. 

For I have become the darkness you fear, 

My voice in the night you constantly hear, 

Telling your heart it must be afraid, 

And making you sorry you ever stayed. 

You know i can never be the same, 

And you can never call again, 

For if you do i will break loose, 

And stretch your neck inside my noose.

I will feast on your throat, your blood, your heart, 

And all the while you'll hear me laugh, 

For I am not who I once was, 

Never again will I fight for your cause.

So now it's time for you to die, 

You must not weep, you must not cry, 

You knew this time was coming along, 

That is why i wrote this song.

So you may know and understand, 

Your life, your death were part of my plan, 

And though it did not start this way, 

You could have left but chose to stay. 

And in that choice your last mistake, 

Your heart and soul are mine to take, 

Now girl dear I'll say my goodbyes, 

I'll cut out your heart and slice out your eyes.

Goodbye my love I'll mourn your death, 

Even as you draw your last breath, 

Your soul is free but will be part, 

Of my evil soul, my black little heart.

Imbued into me as it escapes you last breath, 

Into my soul, into my flesh,
