Dark Places

An example of "dark poetry", which also has a moral message...

In dark places,

shadows chase us,

seeking out our every move,

 

But in days long past,

if life was to last,

one fought the evil ghast,

 

In these days of sin,

we seek to win,

every desire and every whim,

 

Not thinking ahead,

of a future we dread,

our thoughts but a muddled thread,

 

Face not fear the future,

embrace divinity's tutor,

you'll become a worthy suitor,

 

And it's darkness,

which shall shun you instead...

i found this to be dark enough to my liking.
although, i wanted a little more glam somewhere in there. like david bowie meets Klaus Nomi. are lovecraft goes to top shop

Dark poetry is not my thing, I missed the smoothness in this poem, I was readind words, no emotions. Thank you for sharing. God Bless

love this piece Julian,
reminds me of Shakespeare,
there is a sonnete about a old tutor,
and his suitor,
sounds like a dark prophecy, we so relish,

In dark places,
shadows chase us,
seeking out our every move,

To me this says it applies to us all
There are chase'n shadows in all
the dark places of our lives.

Dark or not this truly touched me
Enjoyed the read
