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 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!

Hidden where the spirits loom
Their shelters torn and tattered
Ethereal beings meet their doom
Lost souls about are scattered
Perched upon her marble tomb
Her body broken, battered
No pleasure left, all consumed
A life once whole, now shattered
In the dank and misty gloom
The shadow of a figure lies….
….Darkness prevails when an angel dies

She dances with the fire
A mistress of the flame
Where some must go, to find her
Yet, no one knows her name
She swirls about, like smoke
She is kindled from the ashes
And she’ll burn you, this is certain
With each spark, her power flashes
Her mystery, kept hidden
Her secrets, safe within this place
The spirit, who feeds on fire
Is the girl, who has no face
Author’s Note: Have you ever looked into a fire and wondered what it was you saw? There are always fire spirits present. Can you see her cloak? 😉
