breathtaking beauty

violent delight

gleaming hunger

darkness takes

it will

consume everything

it can

get it's

purebred hands

on and

desecrate it

the monster

(the dark)

prowles at

night as

souls flee

to save

their young

(it will find you and make you it's own)

panting breaths

shallow cries

like a

silent stalker

the black

sky raises

it's scythe

a glorious

arc is

carved through

the air

(so victorious)

can there

be any

comfort in

a time

that hides

such a

cruel thing

...

i think

not

...

watch these

small houses

quaint and

quietly comely

burn as

stars do

that is

your solace

if it

was not

stolen with

your innocence

with darkness comes night, but also stars

i will

ask this

which is

more terrible

then the

other?
