Hey I hope you all like this poem. I hope its not to lame so tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to the phantom of the opera.

_______________________________

This man who smelled of death,

The corpse that walked among the living,

Whose eyes came alive in the darkness, and burned a fierceness.

This man, who was perceived in terror,

Who hid behind his deaths head,

Who stalked about the darkness,

Who even, yes, had a coffin for a bed.

The man who was untied to humanity.

A legerdemain, an architect, a ventriloquist,

And yes, a master of torture.

This man for sure a genius.

This haunted distortion, who, promised to be as a lamb if only loved for he himself.

This poor slave who wished only to be the same,

A dog who longed to be at its master's side.

Poor Erik!

I would take your head to my heart,

I would not shudder as I took your hand in mine,

I would not blink as you looked in my eyes, and I in your dark glowing ones that shimmer

in those dark recesses of your face.

Yes I would take you to the bosom of my heart,

I would place my hands on your weary face,

I would conceal you from your pain.

Oh Erik,

I would indeed love you for you yourself,

You need not live in shadows,

You need not fear the light,

You need not be a phantom,

A spectral shade of those lonely dark nights.

Erik yes, you only need be with me,

And what a joyous time that will have to be.
