Something Dark

Something dark taking over me-
I wonder, what could thou be?
That sucketh light from across my face,
Leaves me staring with a most strange daze;
In an abyss of thoughts am I lost
Tormented, troubled, that's my cost.
From its abode, all sound do steal
Survives but my voiceless appeal.
I know not yet whom thou be-
Just something dark taking over me.

i like the shortness and bafflingness of your poem

Brilliant poem. I loved the style of your writing and the theme. Very dark but without giving anything away.

Well written in the old style reminiscent of Edgar to me. The dark theme is interesting leaving open many possibilities. The Salem witch trials pop into my head, although I know its unrelated. Nice poem.

Thank you for reviewing, Relic! It has indeed been left an open ended poem :) The Salem witch trials..that's an interesting thought! I reread the poem with that in mind. In fact, it isn't quite as unrelated as it might seem; it makes a lot of sense!
Good day to you!
