Poetry
I Am
By maipenrai
07 July 2007
I am the the darkness that devours the light
I  am the stealer of the light
I am the bringer of chaos.

I will take your love and
I will use and abuse it
I shall steal your life.

I will strike down your children
their heads, a necklace around
my bloody neck

I will watch and
cry tears of joy
as you suffer for eternity,
your pain
shall bring me endless comfort,
for you are not deserving of my love.

I am the stealer of souls
I am the corruption within you
and I shall tear asunder
all that have scorrned me,
I will crush and grind your souls to nothing
I shall feast on your spirit.

I am the darkness that devours the light
I am the darkness witin you
I am the stealer of souls.

Some strong images here Bernie. Wasn't entirely sure who/what you were writing about, but I wouldn't want to commit myself to it here - certainly not the devil though.

Josie, Phil and Audrie and thank you all for your comments. 
 
I see this as some Ancient God who as awoken from eons of slumber to find that he as been forgotten, replaced by newer Gods. 
 
now this old God is not one of milk and honey, he is a God of vengence and fear and he will have his revenge on those who have mocked and scorned him.
