Silent Mist

(fresh ink for my friend leanne)

Silent mist
within the night
what is this
sorrow
what is this
sight?

Ancient ruler
creeping
seeping into
the trees
slowly spreading
foul disease.

I am the
dreaded necromancer
of a
woeful gloom
creator and catalyst
of a
heinous doom.

Pewter powder
hellish gore
my poison
decimates
the forest floor.

I bring my shadows
from the deep
to imprison all
within my keep
to suffer
an eternal
insufferable sleep.

This is a well-thought dark poem. I loved this one too!

The dreaded Necromancer. I had the most unusual dream a few nights ago, not prophetic, but some demon entered the dark equation. This probably means I am cursed by an incubus - they are the worst, if you find yourself, actually enjoying the whole visage. I wrote a poem titled Myst, but I am more like the character in "Synaesthesia" and I do fall in love with all my music videos and meeting the minds of other highly creative artists/musicians/writers... Dark poems are the best. I like your Mist very much. And your dark poems do draw a person further in, highly addictive.

I so appreciate your thorough comments. I could not find your Synaesthesia poem anywhere.

The darker the poem, the better. But never a scribble.
