Dark Desire (sonnet)

A heart of stone carved with a knife of ice.
Trust and faith hide a darker desire,
To hold both life and death but at a price,
A debt to pay; to tear them down; Liar!!!
A blooded hand, eyes of baleful might.
Cloak of shadow, a soul of blackest thorns,
Deceitful smiles; hunter in daylight bright.
Biding his time, hiding his cries of scorn.
Heart of stone melted by fires fury,
Having shattered awe and render with death;
He stands, guilty, before his own jury.
Having danced the dance, now he takes his breath.
He rests now unto his black hearts pyre;
To have won his crown with ice and fire.
