Embracing Evil

by Tru   Jun 22, 2005


Light falls to shadow in this place,
All joy and happiness fade from my face.
The shadow slips slowly over me,
With promises of setting my soul free.
I feel the power of my undying rage,
All this power, yet still am I chained, caged.
It’s cold and dark to be alone,
I feel my heart freeze, turn to stone.
The darkness starts to cloud my mind,
The pain I feel inside starts to blind.
My soul was once a great flame,
Now I have but myself to blame.
I no longer have a place to call home,
Half dead I am but still I roam.
Take heed and learn from my mistakes,
I tell you this for your own sake.
For once you’ve embraced the shadows lust,
Your body and mind will turn to dust.
If you fall for the shadows lye,
In the darkness and shadow you will die.

    Sometimes it did seem forced somewhere along the middle but the overall image that had the dark sound...or flow was really cool. And it was great. Some great lines in it that add to the dark/sadness of it.

    Ah, dark. My favourite category, if it wasn't obvious already. Once again, an incredibly well written piece. It was probably because this was a dark poem, but I did enjoy this much better than unspoken words. Always, though, I find this is because of my, shall we say, prejudice, towards dark poems. I have favoured them, even obsessively. So it has nothing to do with your style of writing unspoken words, but I did find this better suited my taste. A job very well done.
