Into the Darkness

He held his detached face in his hand                                            as he trepid into the darkness of an
ungodly aura fermented from the 
evil within him.

Masked with so much anger and pain                                                             
through his faceless face as it mirrored 
into his face like the reflection 
of his own blackish image.

Yet behind shut eyes he roared like a lion
sending signals to his comrades as 
an invitation to the dance into the forest
of the pitch-dark night.

Fist clanged tightly and mysteriously
as he was trapped in his own wrath
and never to see the light of the day
for it was a dead end.

Now alone, his monstrous black hair
poured out in anger;
don’t drag me into my own hell.

Very expressive and emotive work. This person reads as though very violent. Welcome to soup. Sara
