Dark Spirit , You Are Cursed

Dark Spirit , You Are Cursed O', dark spirit of the late night Which scare are you now bringing Eyes gouged out to prevent sight Or tongues cut to stop singing! O', evil one how dare you creep Claws scratching along the walls Evil curses in a wailful weep predictions of pain filled falls! O', dark one you will now find Curse in rage yelled back at you The resistance in this old mind A truth cast to give up your due! Betrayer of light you will fail Your screams shall not be heard Skulk back into your evil Hell Yield you must to Light's word! Speakers of evil accursed tales Givers of dark night's frights Tricksters living in evil shells Of no use now your false sights! Master of light protecting me Oaths given that always stand Given fruits of his Son's tree Eternal gifts in promised land! Robert J. Lindley , 08-29- 2014

Stunning. dark piece Robert. The more you read it, the better it gets. As Monterey mentioned, it has a Horror theme to it. Love it, James :)

Very inspirational write. The last stanza is great. At first I was getting the feel of Poe or an old Vincent Price movie. Your images are stunning.
