From the Dark's Within

Dark gloomy clouds gather on this moonless night The light a few hours earlier by now has taken flight A chill fills the air where before it had been so mild Now the darkness downs the sun no longer smiles Beside an eerie copse I hear the sounds of a violin A Gothic maiden she, summons from the dark's within As the gloomy clouds disperse, black shadows dance Winged angels of the dark are captured with her trance From amidst the darkened forest, shapes begin to appear The chosen from the light, for now their time is near Hoards of silhouetted shadows descend from the night Their victims in bloodied frenzy, their eyes pecked on sight From the dark forest they came, they are never to return The Gothic maidens tune, has lured their souls to burn As the new dawns arises, clothes lie in scattered torn Whilst the army of her dark, welcomes her newly born http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/dark-9.php

Has a medieval feeling and mysterious goings on with those shapes coming and going. Still loving your Highlander site James. I get there now and then to read the endless assortment of fabulous poems you've written. Take care my friend and hope your new year is filled with inspiration! Luv, Lizzie

An eerie and foreboding poem, James. Love that line about how the gothic maiden's tune lures souls to burn. Spooky! Right up my alley. Goes to my faves. Love, Carolyn
