Black demon

Black bird
black orchid
black sky
black river
black soul

Black demon
of glass
chasing the dream
that has eluded
you

Has pain
so gripped
your soul
that all the colors
are absorbed
within

Fragile spirit
have you 
lost
your
warmth

And still you
persist
with passion
chasing

that which you
will
never have
or feel

Have they changed
you
into this
or 
have you
or 
has she

Or is it
mere illusion

a dream

Or is it more
frightening

a reality

In the still of
the night
I heard the shatter
of broken glass
