I lurk in the shadows
That block out the sun
Long for the hours
When daylight is done
Dwell in the darkness
Tis where I’m content
Hidden, unnoticed
Is how my life’s spent
I am one with the creatures
Who stir in the night
Awaiting the sunset
To silence the light

Fearing she would never rise again
Her body anchored to the ground
Fallen angel, black as night
Though beautiful, profound
Prayed to find the light above
The only one, to save her soul
Watched it, as it faded away
The darkness, devoured her, whole
Fallen angel, time has passed
Your journey ended on Earth
Never, shall you soar, anew
There was no chance, for your rebirth

I let you throw daggers at me, from afar
You watched, as my heart slowly bled
Piercing my chest, this imminent pain
I wondered if you wished I was dead
The anger in your eyes, unsettling
They were blank, I was no longer there
You killed me, without saying a word
I knew now, you just didn’t care
Years of fighting within myself
Excuses, kept me hidden in the dark
Trying to cover the scars on my soul
Sadly, your hate left its mark

I loved this story, Plight of the Night Creatures, by my dear friend, Walt, and was inspired to write a poem based off of his work. I hope you’ll visit his blog and show him some love! He’s the best ❤
The taste of human blood, lingering, ever so sweet
Found roaming the night, in the alley and street
Eyes, ever vacant, asking to be fed
Lost in the darkness, these living dead
A world taken from them, they long to avenge
Dare you not fall asleep, lest they get their revenge!

I am as black as a raven
Against the brightest moon
I venture, seeking solace
Taken from me, too soon
Ebony night, speak to me
Let peace and tranquility abound
Shadows enveloping, sheathing
Their spirits dance, profound
A settling calm, stormless
Sends me deeper into the vast
I am no longer searching
The darkness has claimed me
At last
