Malevolent Sleep

Contributed by abrahamt on Wednesday, 11th December 2002 @ 09:30:00 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Moonlight flows over peaceful trees
Moonbeams sail on a lilting breeze
The landscape's painted in shades of night
Darkness reigns, having ursurped the light
A dark voice rises, a dirge it sings
Wafted abroad by dim night wings
Shadows march and nightmares ride
Dreams on horseback slither and gilde
Unyielding sleep holds its tethers tight
Coveted morning, nowhere in sight
Toiling, laboring, through gelatinous air
Then falling, falling, hopeless despair
Consciousness crashing back into being
Tranquility returning, horrors fleeing
A cloak of silence lightly descends
A soothing peace to the mind it lends
The stillness lulls, slumber it brings
And darkness, laughing, spreads its wings
