shades of the future (Challenge Poem)

By Jet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

In the darkness of night The shadows gather Watching, waiting... Ignored by the light. Soon time will come When the shadows will rule. Under cover of night The brave will succumb. Saturnine hate Will fuel this fight. Old furies unleashed... It's already too late. Out of the ashes Of wars long forgotten. The dead will rise To partake in the clashes. The more gallent ones Will fight for the light, But hellspawn and demons Have no fear of guns. The last vestiges of light Are smothered by rage. And the dark gates of Hell Embrace the eternal night.A response to Fortold-Event's challenge to write a phrophetic poem. :) Written February 15th, 2002 © on Feb 14 2002 04:42 PM PST   0 • 10
