Lord R. E. Taylor Poet Free verse

A World of Midnight Black

Midnight black
A world unto itself
A world no one wants to know
No one wants to ever admits it exists
No light or shadows
Evil hiding in places never seen
Places good would never dare
A deathly grey moon hangs low
Barely rising above the horizon
Is it for real?
Or simply an illusion of a collective mind
It watches an empty world
No clouds or stars
No trees or flowers
The only ones who can see its starkness
Souls condemned by a vengeful god
Wandering an empty plain
A fate long ago decreed
To suffer in darkness
A punishment that lasts for all eternity
For crimes they committed in a mortal life
No forgiveness
No hope
Just forever in an everlasting hell

Laura Mckenzie July 22, 2009 at 5:26 PM Darkness and no light I love it! Ok I know I seem strange but yes I do love dark writings we all know the ones about flowers and babies and what not, But I do love this one! But I do hope your not in any pain or hurt! Love Laura :)

Carolyn Devonshire July 22, 2009 at 3:25 PM A world of darkness, lacking color or hope, is a sad place in which to dwell. If I could not look out the window and see the trees, flowers, stars and clouds, it would certainly seem like a wasted life. So sad, Robert, but you have a talent that makes the reader not only identify with you, but share your feelings as well. Compelling write! Love, Carolyn
