Deadly Rift

I have mentioned that I am a writer so today I wanted to share a sample of my literary endeavors. The following is a poem I wrote in 2001.

Here is the obligatory warning: Contains imagery which may be disturbing.

Through the gateway it ascended to this world of prey and light.

Seeking whom it might rip of innocence, virtue, of life.

Swiftly it made it's way across this once abudant, fertile land.

Reaping the lives of all who occupied the sky, sea, and sand.

With crimson fangs of steel and ebony eyes, it tore into to each soul.

The victims having one last vision of darkness, terror, and cold.

Blood stains drying on it's face, death reeking from it's jaws.

None could escape the might of it's wings nor the fury of it's razored claws.

It finally returned from whence it came with not a single sound.

And as the portal slowly closed, the last human slumped to the ground.

Let me know what you think.

• Today's Cure song is Primary from the FaithCD - (1981) A face paced song with snappy guitar riffs from thier third CD. A great song to contrast the slower,dark,dreary tunes from this session that can bring tears to your eyes.

"The further we go, and older we grow, the more we know, the less we show."
