The Sower of Darkness
The Sower of Darkness
As dark as the darkest night
In ominous flight
Across the oceans, fields and cities
Had spread
His dismal wings
Sowing sorrow
Madness, plight
On his path
A human soul was caught
Pleading for mercy
All in vain
The Sower of Darkness
As dark as the darkest night
Of mercy knows nought
Destruction is his aim
A glimmer of golden Hope
Flew in
Through the window
Shone her bright light
On the troubled soul
Hid the mortal tool
Of polished steel
And the thick rope
Thus
The Sower of Darkness
Death
His ultimate goal
Having lost his might
Decided to slowly
Crawl back
Into his gloomy hole

This week’s poetic device is… Personification! Personification is the assignment of human qualities to an animal, an inanimate object, even an abstract concept.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING AT SURREAL CIRCUS!
Thank you so much for the feature, Carol .
Thanks for sharing with The Triple Name Club.
Was relieved to see I was wrong.
Darkness is not about
the absence of light.
Shadow does not demand substance.
Darkness is a place of germination.
Mixing water, air and earth
to create the fire of life renewed.
Quiet here,
enclosed in silence,
a tiny heartbeat starts,
sending out waves,
reverberations
rippling through the earth.
Under water caves
feel the pulse, the beat, the becoming.
Time, space, and impulse converge.
Innocent and ancient,
taking up the tune
to play riffs,
singing the structure of images,
moving through the night
eerie demonic counterpoint
to pure essence
straining through.
A thousand petals open
to reveal the heart of the lotus
luminescent
mother of pearl.
