Darkling In Distress
"Darkling in Distress"
Spirits of ancient entities
prowl hauntingly through eerie mist
encumbered by flesh no more
beyond sweet breath of lovers kiss
as skeletons of eras past
evaporated vapors
wandering through tunnels
concealed by lace drapes of sorrow.
in clandestine atmosphere
horror of hollow empty shells
dark corridors impune
as essence of torturous bones
consume an imprisoned heart
of a darkling in distress.
kidnapped in a vacant enclosure
of constrained emotions
sequestered in quicksand
down in a dark dungeon
of a Life broken
a crushed pedestal
a crumpled effigy
spewing volcanic ash
from a verbotin sham
sad spirit departs
to wanderlust
of withered dust
parched and perished by pain
black memories
scream ... scream ...
down in the dark dungeon
thoughts tantalize: Life is only a vapor, a mist
and Death is the beginning of Life.
*darkling - an entity in pain
*verbotin - forbidden
*For Nathan's Insanity of Death Contest ..
