The trail to the Deep
Is covered with stones
The descent is steep
With dark overtones

My heart of red clay
A cave that you paint
A hunter at play
Was never a saint

A sign of the Flood
And you leave your mark
You sign with my blood
And behind leave dark

(P.S. something a little different from the usual 'mushy' sonnets...LOL)

Dark and mysterious works for me every time.

Nice!  My favorite stanza was the first.  It flowed well and was easy for me to imagine.  Enjoyed!

I enjoyed the dark tones in this CastleGuard, coupled with the rhyme scheme and flow. Very nicely done.

Best wishes,
