A Shadow Emerges
I am very pleased to be able to present
our sixth collaboration, with my great friend
and very talented poet, Lawrence Sharp.
Always a true honor for me to be able to
collaborate with such a friend and very
talented artist.
A Shadow Emerges
As its light was shining bright
a dark shadow crossed the scene,
a curse in the day and night
vile-blood spilled from splintered spleen.
Sickness invades absent mind
doubts attack with no reprieve,
thoughts invade,darkest kind,
Hell acts fast, we must believe.
Shadow has taken its form
light's splendor, it now deforms
Darkness, deforming the light,
casts and forms the shadow’s might.
Having snuffed the shining light,
darkest shadow claimed the scene,
it no longer stood in sight,
for it was all, all unseen.
Scourge of Disease only ends
when death ascends to its throne,
now the form contorts and bends,
final chill darkens the bone.
