Wings of Darkness

by Kuro   May 25, 2011


Underneath the wings of darkness,
There is protection from the light.
I threw myself from heaven's gate,
To gaze long at the moon at night.

Redemption is but a false hope.
Blacked wings; the mark of the damned.
And this longing face of sorrow,
Doesn't deserve the blood of The Lamb.

They would rather you see the light.
But the truth can be too cruel.
You spread your wings of darkness
Enemy of God; Satan's tool.

But to you; you call it mercy.
Shade from God's scorching sunburn
Misunderstood, cold, and lifeless
Jeers of ignorance you have earned.

Blinding light of self-righteousness
To you, I fear I won't return.
For I have felt the wings of darkness
A truth, I know, you can't discern.

~~~Writer's Note~~~
this is addressing a Fallen Angel, about the shade he provides from the light that blinds too brightly and how coming to realize the truth in the darkness will never be truly understood by those staring into the light.

    Very Well Written, but be careful not to fall sympathetic for the angel of darkness!

    Well, this has to be one of the better dark poems that I have ever read on this site. Your descriptions are incredible and it makes the imagery vivid with color and life that you paint onto this poem. The message was interesting because I thought at first you were the one who had gone to the darkness but then at the end I am twisted and see that you are actually leaving it. Very interesting as it caught me off guard. The poem flowed really good and I also noticed the rhyming was flowing with the poem as well. It didn't seem forced or anything. :]

    All in all, the poem had a strong central theme of describing this darkness and then showing you leaving it for all the bad things that are in it and then you condemn those who are in it because of their ignorance. The poem really was a excellent story that gives many emotional flurries and images throughout the body as the poem is read. A very talented poet you are. Great job and keep writing!

    Reading this gives such a sinister and dark
    feelings and such vivid images came to my mind. There is also a tone of sadness to it like there is no hope..a helpless feeling. Very well penned!
