In the Valley of Shadows

Amidst the Barbaric heathen hordes Mordacious majesty’s scrofulous swords Corroding cathedrals in the morning mist Rampageous residuals that we must resist In the valleys of darkness, my soul savors still For the bloodstained moon begins her spill The ruffled red rains down upon the tombstones As the Kings and Queens sit upon their thrones The lecherous Lords satisfyingly seduce The mawkish women that are on the loose Marauding minstrels that strangle the streets In the valley of shadows where the darkness meets.

Very cool, creepy, sinister and dark. Your word choices in this just add to the depth of the fear your poem produces. A very cryptic write. Really nicely done.
