The Darkness

The darkness has seeped in
Like coldness through the bones
Like fog rolling off a lake
Like music with flat tones

That darkness has come fast
Like a cold and bitter wave
Like a sudden dreadful storm
Like marching to the grave

The darkness grabs the heart
With fingers as sharp as knives
With eyes as red as devils
With hands that reach for lives

The darkness grabs the soul
With weights too leaden to bear
With a crushing force of power
With no hope left to spare

  1. Wow Karie. This one is spooky and foreboding and amazing as always. I've got fresh batteries in my flashlight. If the darkness comes a knocking on my door, he's toast.
