Yesterday’s #wildwalkprompt #climb #blueskyrelay #theyfedthedark
Also a #rhymeroyal

They fed the dark with whispers,
old coins, and candle wicks.
It swallowed softly,
purring like something once alive.
By dawn, the house was hollow
only the walls still chewing,
slowly, politely,
on the absence of light.

They fed the dark their secrets one by one, two by two with hands of blue varicose vein bruised hatted red with sheet white skin, masquerading virtue as they relished in sin. They fed the dark their secrets satiated sickness on innocent flesh made mockeries of justice to satisfy lecherous lust-born greedy gluttony again, and again, and again. They fed the dark their secrets till a match was lit by one voice and then another, and another eradicating the darkness, demanding the truth, be brought to light.

This was supposed to be spooky spicy with hint of a Firefly reference, but somehow turned political. I make no apologies. Enjoy 🤗

#blueskyrelay #TheyFedTheDark

The desire for love is constant
An ever-present consideration
But love is love
And that's enough
Desire another matter
Push the shopping trolley home
Dream of being famous
Dream of maybe a home
Dream all desires
Ignoring the bright side
In desperation
They fed the dark

#deck the halls with boughs of rowan Mwa ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha
'Tis the season to be #edgy "
Don we now our scary costumes "
Trolls, #theyfedthedark with deep growls "
see the eerie #tomb below (us) "
That's how we do #Halloween "

#theyfedthedark with screeches and screams
thought it was #simply #edgy #music themes
didn't think about #Halloween
and the spaces in between
until the assorted creatures
spread with awful features
the #deck built above a #tomb

To sate the hunger
#theyfedthedark
but the night
wasn't satisfied
it took more and more
from them
until they realized
they were trapped
in a hell of
their own making.

The rainy sky the other night 🌙 🌧

That moment
when acceptance
stays,

folds itself
into your being,
no longer

wavering.

The back-
and-forth-ness,
the dissonance,
gone.

They fed the dark
and then wondered
why the dark -

ever hungry -

swallowed
them
whole.

When we heard we had two
wolves dwelling within
The choice was presented
To feed one, but who?
The problem persists,
It's not a choice for a lark.
Not all choose to resist;
While we were feeding the light,
They fed the dark.
Now we both have to fight.

They fed the dark, and
They floated, how they floated,
We all float down here.

They fed the dark
and kept on feeding it
until the world
was but a stark shadow
empty and gloomy
and then they laughed
until they could laugh no more
their laughter echoed for an eternity

With coffee and doubt
they fed the dark,
a soft hum of
unfinished lines.

syntax hums where light forgets

Between the last edit
and the first regret,
the dark learned
their name.

The shadows are coming
Don’t look back
Keep running
They love the chase
Depraved and defaced
Your fear and terror
Is what they taste
Children screaming,
Demons teeming
With delight
Halloween is a waste
If you’re not afraid
On this night
