Devil's Darkness


darkness lays down in the valley

like periwinkle, invading and

creeping around sleeping souls

in a vain attempt to influence

their dreams...  magical fingers

play the darkness like a well-tuned

Stratovarius, lonely melodious

sounds stream out through the

dank, dark air winding and

intertwining with the devil's

enbibed a few hours before...

demons on crutches hobble

around like drunken sailors

in search of those who failed

to leave early...  magpies howl

at the harvest moon, forcing

an illuminated darkness that

stifles all hidden persuasions as

the morning lays claim on all

who believed in its returning.
