Nightriders In Seamless Darkness
In the depth of darkness opaque and dense,
ground doesn’t hear the footfall of silence.
Burning sets of piercing eyes hover and stare
at the static secrets of the still mystique air.
In the stillness profound and intense,
twilight of the dying day fades in distance.
The animals of the night prowl and stalk
the haunted before they can hide in the dark.
In the wilds the nightriders move and face
the animals in them in the darkest of space,
turn into predators deadly and noxious,
creating the sinister creatures of menace.
Beneath the sheath of silence arcane and deep,
sordid spirits of the evil shadows creep.
Floating on unwary nascent night at its brink,
dip into the still sea of its soul to drink.
In the niche of squalid mind dark and evil,
the nightriders morph into daunting devils.
Animals of the dark carry the ominous desire,
seek space in seamless darkness to conspire.
