Notes: What's that they say about the road to hell?
[parasite]
There is darkness in every heart.
It is there when ignorance causes the proud to attempt the unspeakable on their own … and it sings, softly, whispering
this is the way you can save your people
It is there when callousness calls it, calls it to unwitting hosts, the secret shadowed doors of the heart swung wide by false desires.
… and it grows, soft endless night, when it is extinguished in other hosts,
rent to onyx mists by unnatural growth of the light within.
see what you have done?
It is there when despair floods a fading, bled-empty heart, as those once-loved die under hands unable to turn back the midnight tide they have unleashed.
send them down down deep they are useless to you
try again
It is there when pride taints one once arrayed against it; the sweetest are those who fall to the dark by their own blindness.
they were weak
It is there when desire – sweet scarlet desire, darkness-kin – calls it to the fore;
for power calls to power,
and none gone so far can resist the singing midnight tide
free us
call us
shape us
make us
you wish to be free of this tiny world -- don’t you?
There is darkness in every heart.
It broods, still and silent as soft sweet death,
til its breath-fine web can entwine the fluttering cage that binds it.
Though it is mindless, it is cunning, and it knows when its time has come --

Date: 2005-11-23 10:16 am (UTC)I write some fiction, although some of it is more "big drabbles" than fiction ... and, alas, only two KH fics to date with another in the works. (Songfics, alas, and thus no place to put them these days ...)
I have some works for a few other series; but still, nothing really lengthy ..
