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 © May 19 2010 placed 7th in “Dark Poet” contest

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
