Intrigue by nightfall

Intrigue by nightfall

A Poem by Shane Brooks

driven by unseen forces

obsideon surrounds the light

a darkness so pervasive

sometimes I think I've died

but just like mystic sorcery

you bring me back from the grave

to relive a lifetimes agony I care not if hell awaits

 

I'ts a cold harsh and dark world

from which there is but one escape

all you hold dear and sacred

will in time be torn away

embrace the blade

 

share lessons of loss and shame

their birth

in grief and ashes

a common provenice in pain

all things of grace and beuty

destined to surely fade

 

we fought hard against the odds

tried so hard to make it

the path has led us nowhere

and all of our dreams have been crushed

 

it's a cold harsh and dark world

from which there is no escape

your just like midnight backward

I lost me in that dark release

intrigued by nightfall

 

Intrigue

by nightfall

release

the calling of the blade

theses days I pray for violence

to end the monotony

I hear a dreadful silence

growing feeding

screaming out the truth of my end

I wake but feel no comfort

a place thats cold my soul

a place of growing numbness

a place I breed the cold

Very nice free write

This is a nice free write. No bittersweet ending, just straight to the point. I can respect that - though I hope to read a follow up on this. I like the straight edge emotional outlet through your words, no punches held. Well done!
