Shadowed Wings of Night

The harbinger rides a pale horse

Upon the shadowed wings of night

Without the emotion of remorse

     

Flames shoot across a violet sky

Lighting up the onyx horizon

Listen you’ll hear his battle cry

 

 

Enthralled with cipher’s unique sound

Body paralyzed unable to move

To the desolate earth you are bound

 

Destruction leaves a barren land

Fireballs incinerate all the earth

Depleted of all but dust and sand

 

Hypnotized by the surreal sight

Confusion settles deep in the mind

Irrational thoughts start to take flight

 

Lock deep within this horrible dream

Franticly the brain tries to wake

Vocal cords sound an audible scream

 

Nightmare fades exceedingly fast

Its secrecy held within the mind

Lingering images do not last

This is very good, with some great wording, and a true poetic structure. The writer has chosen to use three lines per verse, and a rhyme pattern which is flawless. The final line reads a little like a warning, "Lingering images do not last"? I also quite liked the mystical tone of this piece. Thankyou, Kristina!

I thought Harbinger was a ship?
There was something very vague that made this so scary. I actually felt an eerie shadow stalking me as I read.
But I also think it was a little too vague.

ominious and forboding images that portray great turmoil .. chilling

[Desert Dreamer]

Dreams often bring messages of truth. I reminder that the earth or the self is being destroyed...if this were my dream I'd wonder what meaning this dream holds. Great visual poetry.

[Tina Kline]

Great vision of the Apocalypse with one of the horseman in it. Nice dark and destructive feel to this, you did a great job.

[Mauricio Montoya]

This piece is art, the choice of words and how they blend as they come together is visual communication in the making.
Excellent write.
