Moonless Nights

Listen to poem:

winged nocturnal creatures within the confines of my mind beat circles high and low hunting in the dead of night i sense the flapping of their wings in moonless starless skies sullen pleas of captive demons weary ghosts and unhinged angels reach far beyond my cliffs of sanity in the haunting dead of silence AP: Honorable Mention 2022, Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on April 25, 2022 for contest A BRIAN STRAND PREMIERE CHOICE sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 4TH

There is a gothic eeriness that is just (beautifully) disturbing Line about this poem. I implore anyone who reads your poetry to also listen to your recitals. They add another depth to it all. Cheers - Gary

i've read of that kingdom of princes and principalities of which most humans have no comprehension, a demonic/angelic war which still rages within a realm unknown. Well-worded warning, Line; scary stuff.
