Stay Away From Darkness

by David Marshall   Feb 3, 2007


Deep within the shadows,
lay the demented corpse of death.
Demons float about,
consuming it's last breath.

The demonic wings spread fear,
to the creatures crawling about.
So terrifying nothing will go near.
Horrified from the screams and shouts.

With the blood stained concrete,
and the fragile cracked bones.
Others have a fate to meet,
while some suffer agony and moans.

The blaring red eyes,
of the one to end your life.
The last things you'll hear are cries,
and the sound of skin touching a knife.

Deep within the shadows,
lay the demented corpse of death.
Stay away from the dark,
or he will take your last breath.

    Very dark, tragic and emotional. Beautifully written, one small falter in flow:

    and the sound of skin touching a knife

    One beat to many in the line, it makes the flow stop and really weakens the poem, I suggest dropping the 'a', still has the same meaning, and the flow has no problems. To me it reads much better.
    Apart from that its an excellent poem.
