Darkness...

Night fall...

Darkness...

As the light of the day yet again ticks away,
the night and it's darkness settles into it's place,

The sun falls victim to the night and goes to hide,
while the crescent moon rises and takes the sky,
and smiles at everyone, as if to say " I'm back again "

Another day comes and goes as fast as a blink
of an eye,

With night and darkness playing there roll in,
our lives, people are ready to call it quits for the day,
and settle in for bed,

While doing so, evil lurks in the shadows,
the Prince of the air is surveying the land,
stalking and preying on souls to snatch away,
from the Almighty,

The eyes of darkness, are piled in every direction,
hoping to stumble upon those that are in limbo,
having every intention to pounce and bring a fallen
saint to the dark side,

While on the prowl, he views several upon there
knees bedside in prayer and his frustration builds
to a boiling point, knowing there is absolutely nothing
he can do while God is present,

Even the weakest of saints, while in prayer makes
the evil prince quiver,

Now more determined, the Prince of the air continues
his menacing mission, his head on swivel and blood
pumping like lava in his veins,

You have been warned,
keep God close at all times, there's no rest for the wicked,
the evil prince never takes a break, but he is a specialist
in the dark, he is the DARKNESS...

There are so many layers to this poem, the second verse where the moon comes out brought a smile to my face. Then it gets really intense and dark when you talk about the schemes of the prince of darkness. Then you speak about the power of bent knees, and how prayer frustrates and defeats the plans of the prince of darkness, that i the part that i loved the most. And then you sign off with a warning.
Amazing work. Absolutely loved it. Thanks for sharing.

As always you never fail to make me think about whatever you write.. There are a lot of descriptions and a lot of hidden things that I keep on thinking about for a number of hours ..
Great job :)

Your works are truly intense and enlightening.
Beginning few lines created a homey environment as the dark sets in, later how the evil beings try their luck to establish their power in the silent world and how the trust on god can shield the beings from wicked spells.
Beautiful work James :)
