Darkness to the Soul

A stroll deep into the shadows
where the chocolate snacks of taboo morsels
waits in its tainted and will leave
a black stain upon your spirit,
but the day was so long and boring
inside you crave the need for a fix
some sugary black concoction
to end this dull and monotonous existence.

The first bite rivets with its spell
so what that the light is gone
no problem that within
all your feel is gut sense
this trip down the forbidden path
will only lead to disaster.

At the moment it just feels so good
while there comes a urge
for moving farther down into the shade
ever farther away from the day.

Then the constant gorging
on what you once feared
stops bothering your conscience
no longer stabs at your concept
of write and wrong.

Only around you it seems like paradise
totally convinced this is bliss
skipping along in pure content
while totally ignoring the ebony archway
that has no exit
and leads to hell’s fun house.
