~~ Dark Shadows~~ ( Pre Write)

Missing image
In the dark shadows at night
Evil darkness...
Chokes the breath out of light
Eerie demons lurking hungrily there
With jagged claws and monstrous glares,
Deafening silence...
Sense spine chilling cold
As dark shadows embrace
Lost, lonely souls,
Plucked from the light
In dark shadows they wait
While demons of darkness
Determine their fate...
Admist sinner's lost souls
Forever must dwell
To be hounded and tortured
In a dark shadowy hell,
Sinners so vain, their soul they can't hide
Life's deeds they have kept hidden
So deep inside
Daylight soon fades...
Dark shadows loom in your sight
As demons search, to enslave evil souls and their might
We must conquer our fears
Of the dark demons of fright,
With souls full of goodness
When we walk the night
Then all these dark shadows
Will soon vanish from sight
Superimposed
By our souls radiant light~

    excellent presentation

    You weave your words very well in this dark write Sis. I really like this part:
    "Admist sinner's lost souls
    Forever must dwell
    To be hounded and tortured
    In a dark shadowy hell,
    Sinners so vain, their soul they can't hide
    Life's deeds they have kept hidden
    So deep inside"

    I don't want to be in that situation. No way.
    Great write Susan. You are so talented.

    to touch in those shadows where crimson words rage beyond thy blindness....
    and the night keeps on howling!
    I enjoyed the walk in thy darkness!
    Keep penning on!

    Susan , I remember reading this before . Even though it is good as far as dark writing goes , oh boy ----do I ever prefer your other writes But I am glad to see you branching out regardless and trying your hand at something different . But somehow the sweetness I see in your authorpic and this do not go together . You much better fit the image of nature and love writes
