Dark Night of the Soul

despair knocks the door
hallucinating the mind
tormenting the soul

darkness dispels light 
sinister black shadows loom
unhinging spirit

an evil fiend tempts 
execrable ideas
drowning to abysm

Wow! Reminds me of a time about a year ago. A follow up whereby the soul is reignited would make a good read! Rob :)
