...Bitter Sweet...........

As the venom flows his smile grows

Bitter and sweet his darkness shows

Into dreams descend drown in blood

Ever to taste as thoughts again flood

There live amidst masks as they appear

Pulled deeper there becoming ever clear

For into depths descend never to let go

There remain unforgiving as smiles show

For in repentance words fail to surrender

As the taste lingers once more remember

For from bitter to sweet venom again flows

And amidst this darkness his smile grows
