darkness
darkness has voice.
only seeds of the night
can truly discern.
.
voice of darkness is eerie.
his sound is mystery. his
presence is spooky,
.
his cloak floats like
thousand dark sparrows.
his abode is pit of shadows.
.
every night, he enchants
the owls. every night,
the Godless are bewitched.
.
in obscure, he whispers.
he growls, howls. every night,
he frightens the fowls.
.
when he alights, his
emissaries arise. geckos
sneak in to cut incisions
.
on your delicate skins.
roaches etch dark scars on
your carnal chest and cheeks.
.
arachnids clamber in. cover
you in shroud of cobwebs;
infest your ceils with silent
.
diaphanous threads. there,
they commune, and oppress
your slumbering soul.
.
when darkness falls, incubi
roam homes, mate sleeping
dames in nightmare realms,
.
darkness sires offsprings
from oppressed wombs. Now
every home nurses a demon.
