LITTLE LAMB

.
Searing pain mixed with blood
Does the little Lamb come
Youth lost to carnal pleasures
Does the innocents die

Little Lamb so still within the shadows
A little soul lost
A little girl does cry
In this world of pain and blood

Darkened walls and shadowed landscapes
Crawl around the confines of her prison
Tears drop into the dirt on the floor
Mixing with blood

Creating loss
Creating misery
A stranger slips through the shadows
A hero of the hour

A monster for all time
The father
Born from hatred
The father
The killer

Stealing into the night
To erase his mistakes
Stealing two souls
To save his own

As silence engulfs the park
Wind pushes the swings
Squeaking the pain of rust and abuse
Crying to loss

Found by a child
Scarred forevermore
Little Lambs without their fleece

Waiting for their time
A Little Lamb born
For the slaughter

Maybe a little too dark for dark poetry.

"As silence engulfs the park

This stanza really jumped out at me. The tortures of lonliness and silence are present. It was dark, but the blood of the lamb will always cleanse. (I have no idea why I said that).
Great job.

Great job on the poem. I don't think it's too dark for Dark Poetry really cause that's what Dark Poetry's for! No offense. I liked it alought though and I hope to see more.

Thanks guys for the good comments.

I mentioned maybe too dark as no one seemed to respond to the poem, I just wondered if most here have a limit to their darkness.
