Ghosts of Time

Wrote this for a friend.

Silver shadows line the halls
these ghostly figures loom
listen to their unearthly calls,
the anguish of their doom

Specters made of pale moon light
they linger in the dark
their anger will only fuel their might
and pierce your mortal heart

For time has forsaken them all,
the forgotten and the damned,
and if you hear their ghostly call
you will perish by their hands

The fallen ones they want respite,
their malice knows no bounds,
they will grasp your soul, still you with fright

and scorch these fertile lands 

Time will never threaten them,
these children of the dark
their sacrifice has bound them,
to the darkness in your heart

I love the evil, villainous journey that you took me on with this poem. The flow was flawless and aided in the feeling of drawing me deeper and deeper into the darkness which I absolutely loved. I felt the danger, the torment, the wicked lust for souls.....Great job.

[SonOfPlunder]

[B.J]

Oh! wow that is amazing I feel a different depth of poetry when I read work like that. There is so much poetry that can be written lik that with castle and building over there. Great work

[SonOfPlunder]

I think being from such a historically rich part of the world, so many reminders of the people who came before us, has had a major influence on my work. There are always fantastical or historical aspects to them. Thank you very much for reading it, glad you enjoyed it!

[B.J]

your welcome

[Rob Santana]

LMFAO!!!!!! Okay K, Kay, Kae, I don't know any other way to write K. I know I'm on my phone, fone right now. Same s**t happens to me. Damn I've been smelling weed all day WTF. Maybe I should check my pockets.

[SonOfPlunder]

You posted that on the wrong review Rob, lol. I would, stop smelling it..smoke it! lol

[Rob Santana]

Hahahaha you're right!!!!!

[Ghost of Jupiter]

I love the creepy feel and the pace to this poem. Brilliant.

[SonOfPlunder]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[Rachelle]

Not really into dark themes but excellent pacing and build-up. The last lines were the clincher.

[SonOfPlunder]
