Succumbing To Darkness

Succumbing To Darkness

Heart seething in anguish, and unconscionable pain,
Tears thundering down diligently, like savage rain.
Blood-and-guts anger, consuming the lax spirit within,
Vehemently raging, and as unrestrained as mortal sin.
Thoughts as dank and dark, as Satan's heinous soul,
Saturate and overwhelm, claiming ultimate control.
Eyes that irradiate vividly, the realm of the surreal,
Pierce and penetrate the world, with looks that kill.
Emotionally wrought hatred, of apocalyptic proportions,
Fester in a macabre web, woven into putrid contortions.
Insipid misfortune, and unwarranted deaths abound life,
Devoid of prudence, the darkness claims me as it's wife.

    Thanks to you all, I rarely write dark poetry, but when I do it's usually for a deep reason and is written to display their depth. Be well.
