To Those This Brave, True Warrior Is Sworn To One Day Defeat
When violet pours its sadden verses onto burning sands
and heavens above spit green poison upon savage lands
up from murky dark evil caves so very far below
down were the wicked witches, red imps and black fairies grow
awaits beasts that exist to someday devour this dark world
if I get caught, take my soul into space to give it a hurl
but I guard my soul with Heaven's bread, its bountiful drinks
and in my bad dreams see the monsters as away they slink
however, certain nights when blood-moon shows its ugly side
down below are ravenous demons that are bonafide
beasts that human flesh exist slowly tear apart and eat
to those this brave, true warrior is sworn to one day defeat
such was the awful sad case on a darken June tenth night
when my dear life I almost lost in a horrible fight
for that black-night they had such a massive, horrid display
in the deep, eerie blackness this soul almost lost its way
As from one huge, cavernous, wicked room I simply slid
Into that wicked blackness I over and simply hid
There, each fierce and each with long sharp fangs and such deadly teeth
I feared even greater what beasts exist down beneath
I had Achilles sword and my soul holding his great might
On my side I had great power of Heaven's glorious light
The battle started when first beast jumped to grab my back
But to its shock off its ugly head I did quickly hack
The next was a large red-eyed three headed massive snake
This I saw and prayed help me lord please, for heaven's sake
It struck but hit its massive head upon the black stone wall
My sword found its true mark and into quick death it did fall
Last, certainly not least was one ugly two-headed cat
My knife ripped its belly open just as quick as that
Then he came forward to me speak to me, his blacken curse
Long cried, hate filled speech which he must have oft rehearse
About my weaken human flesh and what he would soon do
How I would cry out for dear mercy before he was through
I just laugh out loud and then I boldly spit in his face
And said, no you will not I am covered by Lord's grace
At the mere mention of Lord's name, he quickly shrank away
I knelt down to my loving, eternal God to then pray.

Note: I had a dear poet friend here ask me to compose another dark poem for her to read.
This request I simply could not turn down. I would post her name and give her credit for
getting this dark poem born but she asked me not to. So, in my silence I dedicate this long
dark poem to her and her own very massive poetic talents. She inspired me to write today!
God bless her.
Note to her:
My good friend, as I told you I could write you a long dark poem in about an hour. I missed it by only 7 minutes. I wrote this in one hour and 7 minutes.
