The Dark Poet

quintessence of joy
	perversion personified....
		In nightmare abode

no rest have I found
	my dreams parallel blackness....
		no understanding

when hope is no more
	fulfilled is my destiny....
		anti Christ is born

my strength, your weakness
	in dream you bow before me....
		God no longer is

no one is my friend
	my decisions are final....
		666 rising

now dreaming a wish
	half awake in my slumber....
		please let this be real

This is brilliant, Charles. You have well-defined the voice of the dark poet. Nice approach writing it in the first person narration. Very compelling haiku series! Love, Carolyn
