The Dark- Poetry

Where there is light, there is darkness in the shades
And where there is dark, only silence pervades
To those entrapped, entangled in the void...
Where should peace stand?
For only death speaks of it.
And where there is life, death resides in the current
Flowing atop mountainous tidal waves
And where there is death, life is experienced
Beneath the knaves of scathing decadence
To live and die a life-like lie
Is to know all and only these things which haunt us...
Appearing oft and all too ominous...
