Darkness Ascends

a collaboration with Sean M Adams.

Violet color of sunset is all that remains
Vibrant shades have descended behind the earth
Darkness calls, slithering threw dead veins
When day disappears and night fills the sky, giving birth

Nocturnal creatures rise from their slumber
Crawling out of their secret hiding places
An army of beasts with massive attaching numbers
Round onyx eyes that fill ghastly pale faces

Razor sharp, blood stained incisors gleam tonight
Black fingernails protrude from gnarled fingers
These vile creatures seeking blood, causing fright
Smell of stale iron filled blood, that lingers

Darkness ascends, wakes the creatures from their graves
Under a bleeding full moon feel the caped fanged shadows bite
Evil sinks in for the blood they thirst and crave
Transforming the world to become one with the wicked night

Bodies scatter upon the earth waiting to be reborn
Blood splatters upon their pale dry lips the curse flows inside
Away from light into the darkness they are now sworn
Feeling the power growing within a choice they must decide

Under the bat sky a fanged world they must control
The humans will perish and their race will end
Blackness will take over their soul
Into a cold black world darkness will ascend!

A very scary scenario within this poem, great writing too. It's as if you are descending down with the evil, and becoming one with them!

Nicely done.. always enjoy a dark read.. I find one's passion is fuller when they reach down and pull out the dark side of their nature.. Well done to both of you. I like this piece a lot!

Well...there's Armageddon for you. I really, really liked this poem. I like the darkness of it. I like the darkness of any poem that can pull it off, and pull it off you did.

[The Analog Kid]

You guys blended nicely. Very nice building of tension in the beginning and the last stanza is really gripping too:)
