Black velvet nights that are translucent.
Bringing nightmares --- grasping memories.
Forewarning of something intense --- jumping in the blackness pounding fiercely.
They do not hurry through this time and space.
Like a winding firestorm burning through the night?
Nailed to my lingering shadows that bind me in chains.
The crippling holds tightly covering the dark in it's winters shroud.
