THE DARKENING
Lost among the tombstones
Going brittle in the storm
A ghost of memory
From the depths where I was born
DOWN AND OUT
AND LEFT BEHIND
NIGHTMARE VEIL
MY PERFECT HELL
You asked me to believe that something is there
NEVER - NEVER
I have to believe that there is nothing here
SEVER - SEVER
You asked me to believe it's something I can bear
NEVER - NEVER
I have to believe there's nothing left to fear
SEVER - SEVER
a pounding heartbeat reaching a slow melody
the darkening skies quivering with symphony
PLAYING OFF TRAGEDY
Beset on every side
With nowhere to escape now
Merciless enemies
Adorned in funeral shrouds
You asked me to believe that something is there
NEVER - NEVER
I have to believe that there is nothing here
SEVER - SEVER
You asked me to believe it's something I can bear
NEVER - NEVER
I have to believe there's nothing left to fear
SEVER - SEVER
SCREAM AND SHOUT
POUNDING THE WALLS
NIGHTMARE VEIL
MY PERFECT HELL
DOWN AND OUT
AND LEFT BEHIND

The picture related to the analogy of your poem is telling a story within itself
NIGHTMARE VEIL
MY PERFECT HELL
Such powerful stanzas.. The nighttime holds all the earthly secrets, or for a better word, the secret societies shroud in the abyss of the dark world from the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and the SkullsandBones, and let's not forget the Knight's Templers who were Devine in their purpose until they begin to worship dark deities. I find it ironic these dark brotherhoods holds all the answers we tend to search for in the light. A very nice piece my poet
