Darkness ( ft. Samantha Thornhill)

Dear darkness,
I am that candle in your cavity, burning at both ends
My destiny is to defy gravity
Soften in my ascent
You swallowed me like a pill but I am more feast than supplement
Cosmic culprit, you inject your venom with a whisper
You shapeshift, you slither
Without your face suns wouldn’t know their places
We’d be strangers to their shine
You reveal them ever faithfully
Ride on ride
Every sunset blows the whistle of how slowly and idly you descend
No matter how bright the day had been
I used to take for granted my gold
Until you swirled in and left me with nothing to hold
I stopped walking the sunny side of streets
My smiles grew slimmer
Fog hung its grey coats between my thoughts
My celestial windows became dimmer
No matter how clear the sky that day
You hovered like an umbrella
Yet somehow in my way
Blocking my path
Stopping my joy
Truncating my laugh
That was before I knew we were at war
Now,
This is how I learned that the stars are bullet holes
Unsung prophets shot the heavens
To let us know that the infinites glow behind your twisted curtain
That’s all that’s real and for certain
Hello creation,
My soul intends to survive your chapters and verses
by tweezing the blessings from your back hands
and meditating to attune my being to the cosmic compass,
the Most High within us
Oh darkness,
I am that candle burning at both ends
My twin fires dance livid on this test climb through your bowels
Within my ascension I rise,
Through your illusions and limiting lies,
Up this epic spiral for the blinding shores and skies
Of paradise.
