Imperial Darkness

Imperial Darkness

Quiet. Thoughts churning.

The heartbreaking

The silent eyes of the watcher…forever watching.

Judgment…the night stalker

Cold, unfeeling …nothing

The quiet murder lurking in the shadows.

 

Transparent teeth

Invisible to the eye

Attacking the lions pride

Ruler over shadows

Commander of loneliness

Instructor of pain

Always wanting but to never have

Reaching but never touching

 

A chilling stalker…women…children

Words written in the dark

Heartfelt

A hurtful reality

Soul shattering…physical wounds

 

Immortal darkness

Creep up from the sides

Wrap around…smothering

Sinking

Drowning

Dying…I’m sorry

I wonder why you have put this big photo of I don't know what. lol. . Your poem is enough to make me step back and catch the breath again. :) You have really nice sense of keeping the poem exactly the way you want it to. You should try short story with the same title. I would love to see how you manage and go with that. Any ways I like your poem.

You may have a point with the picture lol I just like having pictures though sometimes I know they aren't needed...probably like this poem lol. But thank you for your review. I think I might delete the picture

This is an unusual topic, but you pulled it off well. I had to go back and read it twice as I didn't want to miss any part of it. Kudos!

The dots were jarring IMHO. Opt out. It's lovely otherwise. Really.

Well that was brutally expressed... a mini horror film if you will. Very nice.

I like that little surprise kicker in the end: "...I'm sorry..." I wasn't expecting that. Thanks.

Very nicely penned emotion!
