Chained to Your Light

Madness Lives Within Your Veins

Never again shall you leave; my heart, my soul,

My love, my all, for we are chained as one.

Radiant as moonlight on a blackened knoll,

Yet in the dark, your shadow swallows sun.

You tempt with smiles, yet hide a lethal flame,

Each bell-like laugh coils fire around my mind.

I watch, I burn; my pulse consumed by claim,

Though light and airy seem you, dark I find.

I hold both shadow and the inferno tight,

Desire and rage entwined in writhing dance.

Your brilliance blinds, yet through the endless night

I see the fevered hunger in your glance.

No star shall shine but you; my madness feeds your veins,

In absence, I am void, a soul forever broke.

About the Creator

Donna K

I write where love and darkness intertwine in the quiet spaces where obsession is not a cage but a lantern, where madness is not an ending but a mirror. My work spirals through themes of devotion, identity, and the raw intensity being human
