Darkness Descends

Darkness Descends

As darkness descends
On a tormented mind
Suffering alone
Years have not been kind

Plagued and forgotten
Nightmares untamed
Steal her only peace
Evil spirits are blamed

Sinister madness looms
Terrorized demonic dreams
Shattered frightened
No one hears fading screams

Secluded stranded
Blistering flames sear
Eternity's painful heat
Tortured for years

Malicious laughter
Echos through captured soul
Damned devoid of light
Satan's bell again tolls

*written for a club challenge

    I must say, this was a very fun piece to read. All the suffering for all that time, darkness would be a relief from the torment. Almost, as though, the the long, hard torture is coming to an end, of a sort. I think you hit some of those pains right on. Thank you.

    Woah...this one really made me stand on my toes. What a great scary piece. Just like your love poems take me to a sweet fairy land...your dark poems take me places i would rather not mention... :)

    You should have mentioned along with the title (Not for people with weak hearts)

    Loved it

    all the best and take care

    Sorry I wasn't done before I hit submit.

    There is lots of evil that we can relate to in this world and you wrote this just in time for Halloween. What a spooky write. Great Job!

    Love you,
