Roaming In Slumber

By Riven Waker

One too many specks

Of angel dust upon

The demoniac lash

Stealthily adorned

In negative eyes

Which sever all the

Zeroed minds' shroud

As shadow casts

Off its maker

Blackened window

To delight like

A lamb dozing

By a sword

In the poppyfields

Wishful not

In realm of

Horrors - blissful

So long as light

Is present

    This was a journey inside where darkness dwells, truly a piece to make you sleep with one eye open, write on. Scholar

    Dark are the corridors of your sunless mind..Shadows that swallow the light,the windows that capture the night..Some haunting imagery in here.. definitely a twisted "realm of Horrors" and sedative in its attempt..Great Job
