Darkest World

**A selection of two poems written by me and my friend Sami (sunset shadows) We each wrote two lines. The first is a general view of darkness and the second is from a person's view.
----------------------------------------

like a fire from the heavens
staining angel wings
Like the dead unfeeling cold
tempting corpses to sing

Like venomous kisses of a vampire
sucking life from precious veins
Like eternal shriveled blackness
filled with crimson rain

Like the howl of the weeping moon
squirming inside a werewolf's cry
Or two eyes glowing in your head
initiating a wish to die
Like bleeding knives of broken hearts
trembling in disguise

The world falls to perpetual dark,
blind to its demise
forsworn demons with tattered souls
drown in pools of crimson tears
while people cower all around
prisoners to their fears

Pale white faces fade to dust
driven by despair
Ghostly whispers fill my mind
glaring faces everywhere
Echos from the darkest realm
Swallow down a world of sins
But all the while they increase
taunting worries from within
the end had come, the end of light
let the dead bid us away
Not even the strongest overcome this fight
We're all left to wander astray

2nd

Gothic kisses of the dead
trembling wishes left unsaid
twisted hearts and timid lies
distant fear within my eyes

Half-crazed voices haunt the night
slaughters all that's left of light
hope that's lost and hate that gleams
shadowed figures haunt my dreams

What is right and what is wrong
tis the darkness I belong
Engulfing me in cold embrace
destroying what I can't replace

All my hopes and dreams in dust
Chained to hopeless broken trust
Away from here my spirit glides
my mind is chained and petrified

Drowned in sorrow than released
my final breath has thus deceased
I gasp for air as life slips by
The darkness engulfing my desperate cry

Little by little my soul dies in vain
Burying away my bleeding pain
escape from torture is coming fast
I close my eyes and breathe my last
