Poem of the darker kind...

By Paul StewartPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

I am Fear

I shall hunt

To the sound of great cheer

From the back to the front

*

I am War

I shall relish

In the blood and gore

Your suffering I cherish

*

I am Pain

I shall engrave

My name will drive you insane

Your death, you will crave

*

I am Wrath

I shall feast

On this blood bath

From west to east

*

I am Death

I shall devour

All in a single breath

Your blood, my shower

*

Something a bit darker...Inspired a little by a Machine Head song, I Am Hell (Sonata in C#)

    I read this in my mind with a really deep, raspy voice. I loved the stressed/bolded words and the way they set the tone for the next part. So good!!
