Shadowless shadows,
Dance in frightful flight
Looming long, beckoning
Victims of the night!
Cryptic forms of words
In hapless shape-shifts,
Imbalanced moments
Caused, as darkness lifts.

Irrational, yet rational,
Perturbing, yet unperturbed
Moving, yet stilled,
Disturbing, yet undisturbed!
A nameless something,
An unlighted scene,
Made up of filth,
Of things best half seen

Seething and sundering
The long, dismal night,
When darkness suffocates,
Given no strength for the right,
The cracks of reality
Grow wider and scream,
The name of the nameless,
Seen in death's dream.

Shadowless shadows,
Dance in frightful flight.
Corrupting corpses, claiming
Victory over the night!
Desecrating, desires
where fancies make blight
the shape shifters move
through the dead of the night.



"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

very nice... the words fit together very well. i enjoyed the alliteration, and even the rhyme, something i'm not usually big on.
