I'm not sure if this qualifies as "dark" or not, but.... Vanished Rough hewn spires of blackened stone rise into a blood red sky Pinnacles disappearing in dark undulating clouds From abandoned rooms broken windows stare upon bleak deserted lands As if watching for the return of vanished occupants A society long gone banished into history by unknown forces No one will ever know the cause of their destruction Was it by their own hands? The final grisly outcome of some horrendous war fought in eons past? Perhaps they chose to leave Reaching to the stars in search of something more Living a glorious existence on the shores of another realm The only remains of this unknown people are the silent sentinels Forever standing on the plains of a long dead world circling a forgotten sun © 3/30/00 Gary Pence Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

Thank you very much everyone I do like to experiment with different themes from time to time, and then there are times where something just hits me out of the blue. That's how this poem came to be. Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |
