The Dark Man

[StrangeFellow]

Not necessarily about emotions/feelings unless you count in fear but this seems to be good a place as to publish my work, if my not-so-emotional writings are not welcome, just say the word.

 

The Dark Man

 

The Dark Man comes in your dreams

Every night you-see his reap scythe gleam

You can't outrun his tainted horse

And when the time comes there'll be no remorse

 

His cloak over nothing, his face a blur

You know he brings not gifts of mir

As you run the corn stalks pass

Each thought of him makes fear amass

 

Visions of loved ones black from plague

Drives you mad day after day

Fleet feet flying accross the land

Yet the Dark Man folows accross the sand

 

The day will come when you do meet

Yet you run from your defeat

From wond'rful life you, the Dark Man tore

And doom'ed demise thus abhored

 

The Dark Man stalks in your dreams

Every night you-see his reap scythe gleam

You can't outrun his tainted horse

The time is here, It's your discourse

 

------

Inspiration from Stephen King's running character Flagg/Walter. Take what you want, leave the rest, and as always your thoughts are more than welcome.

 

Happy Writing,

Strange

I like it it's deep has alot of meaning to it. And don't worry poetry is poetry as long as it has meanings it doesn't really matter if it has emotion, it serves a diferent purpose.

I agree with MG I also loved it. And she is right poetry is poetry as long as it has meanings it doesn't really matter if it has emotion, it serves a diferent purpose.
