DAMNED IN DARKNESS

DAMNED IN DARKNESS

DAMNED IN DARKNESS

Darkness falls upon the city

It’s like a shroud slowly descending

Whoever is out there I will pity

For evil prowls without befriending

Darkness swallows up the night sky

Stars get lost not seen again

Evil stalks so many will die

As madness gets to feed in vain

All around cities are frozen

In the clutch, the grip of fear

Locked in houses some are dozing

Praying that no harm comes near

Time runs out; dawn is approaching

Darkness slithers just to hide

Daylight returns to the city

To bury those that might have died…

Wow Brenda, I felt the temperature in my office drop by a few degrees while reading this, what a tone you put down on paper; turning darkness into a character; some sort of avenging angel it seems...it's a very fresh and interesting take on horror, deep dark delicious chocolate ice cream cake poem...now I have to go outside, yikes!....cheers Giggles
