I eclipse

Give me your darkness, he demanded

I want all of you

All that you exude

All that you veil 

She did

And when she did

Dazed, he stammered

Woman you will kill

I need a cigarette to breathe

You are sheer evil

More than I had imagined

She laughed huskily and said

I am the darkness

And there's no escape from me

Not in reality

Not even in dreams

For I eclipse one's being.
