2nd in the 'Calling All Poets 2007' competition
Drift off to the world of darkness,
Fly to a land of dreams,
Call to me from the otherworld,
And leave me to my light.
Say your final prayers and beg forgiveness,
Utter your last lie,
Let the darkness flow from your feeble shell,
And be banished by my light.
Let your death rattle soar with the wind,
And the ghosts rejoice,
For life now lost is hope now gained,
In my world of light.
Bind your soul to the otherworld,
Take my love as you go,
Float to your twisted heaven, be gone.
Leave me to this fading light.
