Darkness, Short Lived

So I'm pretty sure I borderline hate this peom.

Moonlight fell as death devoured the light.

Such purity and innocence corrupted.

Defiled.

 

With a hunger of the starved,

And the eagerness of the hunt.

With the fierceness of a predator,

Death savored every fleeting moment of life.

 

Darkness.

Betrayed by the world,

Light surrendered.

Succumbed to the night.

 

And the beings below,

They felt humbled.

That light would take a bow,

But a never ending darkness provoked fear

Unrest.

 

With a liar’s tongue Death cooed reassurance,

Til demons escaped the earth.

Light threatened not their passage,

A limitless playground they viewed.

 

Beings hid

Like rodents from a cat,

They feared the reign of death.

Its demons.

So unkind.

For light they prayed,

An ending to this dream.

 

Blood humid air,

A constant stench of flesh.

In every corner scavenged demons,

Out of harvest were the bodies.

 

Light smiled,

Such fools they were.

I was listening to Dautry's Every Time You Turn Around when I read this. It made me smile, like Light is there every time you turn around. I like it a lot :)
