OMPHALOS

OMPHALOS

Ominous is the sounds

Many fears exist

Places of darkness

Hope does not exist here

A dark force is gathering

Long shadows roam

Oh such frights

Souls of innocence are entrapped

So beware

Out there terror flows

Loneliness is felt

A frightening experience

Howling in the night

Peace is never found

Magic so black

Only those getting to close get nabbed

Loved this!

Saw the children poetry quote and then read this deep dark poem, not sorry I did as I loved it. You really nailed the pained emotion. Keep em' coming

Thanks for explaining the poem to me Allen. But so many of your poems are dark.
Try writing about something cheerful. I know how hard that can be. Just try.
