Notes About The Poem

Denouement

Demons dwell in darkness
          with souls lost
               cold and heartless.

     Alone and in such pain
          with loves lost,
               only tragedy left to gain.

     Bereft of faith's light
          with hopes lost,
               when the denouement of dastardliness delights
     Demons dwell...
