Raven Shadows Premiere Contest Winner

Raven Shadows
Ravens fly in an ebony pool out of the mouth of evil Someone please suture the mouth from which they come Then let the beasts fly away into obscurity The masquerade of Shadows moves on In their aloof manner coaxing you to follow Behind you walk in cousin shadows towards death Darkness tends to hypnotize all that want to believe Flashing you a veneer smile, darkness with fake teeth All the darkness, ravens, and shadows share like eyes Those of a glowing opaque evanescence Still you are just too weak to show your resistance Into the mountain runs a crimson creek The gateway into which you are being led All these evil spirits that you now call friends Are going to claim victory the very moment you die...

It seems a little bit precise in delivery and the story jumps about without cohesion, could do with personalising to draw the reader into the poem, rather than being told of these things.....

Thank you for your input but as it may be sometimes the chaotic nature of things is what's needed to be read.
