Deep Dark

The sky was black and bloated
   no moonlight stealing through

This night was seeped in eerie calm
   no silent breezes blew

The fog crawled slow and lazy
   with wispy crooked fingers

The void was deep and dark
   the kind that creeps and lingers

You better stay inside
   if you feel the need to hide.

Lenna, I am so happy to see you back here. I missed you :) Love the couplets, they give a feeling of something ominous and not very pleasant!

Thank You Darren !! The night did seem a bit ominous, hence those last lines :) I pop in now and then and although I don't comment much any more, I do enjoy reading what others have posted. Have a beautiful day my friend :)
