ÆONS OF DARKNESS
Æons of darkness keep on
Drowning your naked mind,
Drenching you in sorrows
As your sanity does unwind.
Æons of calamities are still
Tormenting your very soul,
Echoing throughout your life
Your dreams are put on hold,
Æons of horror is stalking
'Cross the void of time and space,
Holding back your upward move
Locking you in this awful place.
Æons of disasters playing out
Within your short lifetime,
Keeping you in icy darkness
Far away from summer climes.
Æon long holocausts daunting
Haunting you all day and night,
Bring you monstrous images
Parading within your sight.
Æons of darkness flooding
Through your tortured mind,
Make you long for a better place
Way back in some distant time.
Æon long terrors are recalling
Catastrophes from long ago,
Before the decades overwhelmed
Before your hair turned to snow.
Æon long nightmares rain
Within your sleeping brain,
Shredding your very sanity
Slowly driving you insane.
THE END

About this poem
Was trying to write a horror poem, but the verses just wouldn't go there. Rather than force the poem, I let it take its own direction. Came up with the title last August; wrote the poem today.
