Daemon in the Daylight

A golden illusion
Rays of light blinded me
Because I saw him
By the brilliance
Of a burning chariot
Blood born boy
With crystal black soul
Beauty birthed of darkness
Amazed and elated
My breath caught
A rush to touch
This creature of blood and shadows
Sensation so new
All because I saw
Daemon in the Daylight

Today

Silent shadows sprang
The cat came out to play
No one saw the blackbird fly
When Johnny died today
Torn veins shuddered
The guard dog slept
Like death in the morning
Blue curtains were wings
On acrid air
And I dreamt through it all
Because I no longer care
