The tranquil nightfall seeps across the sky,
and drips down to immerse me
in quicksilver slivers of starlight
washed up on the eventide
that gently laps at my knees.
I wrap the liquid darkness around me,
soft, glittering midnight
and submerge myself in starlight sensation's
frozen wastes and silent depths.
I sacrificed my tongue to thee, mistress.
When I was little I used to open my blinds so that I could watch the moonshadows of my lace curtain as I went to sleep.
For a while there, I wasn't afraid of monsters.

"And here I am, akin to this darkness."

I might edit it, add a bit more, or I might leave it just the way it is. We shall see.

"I wrap liquid darkness around me, soft glittering midnight and submerge myself in starlight sensation's frozen wastes and silent depths" tangible, visual, continual. Oh dear god. PUBLISH NOWWWWW. Do it. Or I'll hurt you. Not really but I'll feel like doing so.
