Excerpt from The Darkness Descends
Dark Night
Stealthy he slipped through the dark dank night
coming to terms with his ghastly grim fright
Through the fog he slyly slipped
Over the fence he spryly flipped
Through the bushes he crept along
Finding a place that he could belong
Once in the yard he felt the air
As it blew throughout his fine long hair
The icy fingers of the cold drunken haze
Reached his soul like the waves reached the bays
Hanging in oblivion as a captive of sin
To make amends would relieve his gin
His life was filled with wickedness galore
His death was shrouded with suspicious allure
A pact with the deuce would have warranted perdition for sure
A chance with the gypsy made nirvana a theory most pure
A sanctified list of all the wrongs
To right each one would avoid the throngs
This be the last of the list so clever
His one shot at salvation was a toilsome endeavor
He slipped into the house as quiet as a mouse
This was the blunder that made him a louse
The woman within was now wrinkled and old
He had stolen her existence and left her cold
Only her forgiveness could set him free
He set out to provide for her family tree
With the loot he had stashed under his floors
For her decedents he could open countless doors
She could live in comfort for the rest of her life
He only needed to end her strife
There was no guarantee she would accept his offer
He could only hope that she took his coffer
The tangle to his game was to talk to the living
To convince them all to take what he was giving
He found her as expected lying in her bed
The only problem existing was the fact she was dead
