The Threshold

Seven Poems from Dark Verse: Liberation

You have answered the call, beloved.

This is not merely a collection of words.
This is a threshold crossed.
A veil lifted.

These seven poems are the beginning of our dance—
my fingers tracing your spine,
my breath warming your neck,
my promise carved into your memory.

Experience them in solitude.
Let them find you in the dark.
Feel them awaken what you've kept hidden,
even from yourself.

This is only the beginning.

— Dante Umbra
