Cloak and Dagger

Entry for the Cloak and Dagger contest

Creeping in, it caught me unaware

In the dead of night, where dreams slither

With stealth it creeps like smoky vapor

My spirit cries out in apprehension.

 

It wore a cloak and dagger,

Which dripped words undeclared

Empty parchment waiting

To be soaked with poignant imagery.

 

The cloak, but a shroud to hide behind

The dagger, a trusty friend

An extension of unconscious contemplation

Oozing thoughts, torn from heart to pen.

 

I am but a victim of resourceful temperament

Lost souls with untold stories clamoring for release

Mysteries yet unraveled, murders to be solved

Lingering shadows, bound by cloak and dagger.

Normally, I feel my expression towards others work is quite reserved, so I hope you won't find it disrespectful when I say I think this piece is "a*s-kicking" as they say. The mood is very well spoken in its mysterious tone. The way it reads is has marvelous flow. It is very beautiful in its imagery. I am so impressed with this.

I'd say you have a good chance of winning this contest. I would like to see it; (with the exception of my own submission, of course haha). I am going to add this piece to my favorites.

I like the contrasting images, and how they fit together to form the piece. Good luck in the contest, with this kind of writing you have a good chance.
