Dark mists waft in the hazy glow;
A shuffle, a thump, and circles form -
An eerie glow emanates from the shadows.
A dark figure, a silhouette without flesh.
Time immemorial ceases to exist
As he slowly suffocates the air around
His aura that of the stench of death
A sweet rotten odor of ardour.
Those who catch a glimpse of his eyes
Shiver uncontrolably in fear.
A latticed doorway hangs in silence
Welcoming all thoughts
That think of suicides and sacrificial embraces.
Unwavering, the slice of his scythe curls up blood -
Blood he drinks as wine;
Blood as black as burnt flesh.
His robes of smoke slither on bones
Licking as snakes for the taste of remaining life.
Scars of emotion spice up his meals
And hate he drinks for dessert.
The shadows of victims he sucks them out
And adorns them carefully veiling himself.
Solitude is his companion
Screams are his joy.
The one who dares to walk by
Can only wish he hadn't.

What do you say now
When the darkness reigns
Your light has faltered
I need not your hand that you offer
For our abode is stronger than yours!
-
I laugh at your words
For the one you say is cowering
Has actually succeeded in conquering
And what can I say now to the beacon that is broken?
-
It is not for you
To tell me what I should do
My heart seeks darkness
Where I feast on others' weakness
Tell me knave what do you find
Your heaven's peace ruins the mind
Let yourself unto your desires
For this world is filled with only liars
Your peace is a lie
Where you make people fly
Our shadows are poweful
And let's a man rule
To imagine a world which is only serene
Oh for Heaven's sake let us intervene
The spice of life is only in flames
This world let it be, a charade of games!
-
You scare me, not,
for your power does
not extend so far
to offend an angel
of the Queen of Heaven.
I take no risk to enter here
and offer my hand to lift you up.
Do not fear to try the path
to Heaven's sweetest joys.
I am "Celeste", the angel
of the path.
Come and join in happiness
with all that Heaven hath.

Shadow Creap
You're shadows are idiots to try to attack us.
Even primitive sparks could kill them.
Better not lose your whole army,
or your shadow that hides when the light shines.
Angel Ring -
Dear Slave of the Dark Queen - Keeper of Shadows,
Tis certainly dark and not appetising
the blood and the guts that stench arising
This place is a mess and disgusting indeed
how can you waller in a hell hole conceed.
I offer to lift you burdens from hence
taking you to Heavens abode with some sence
Do not stay in where death takes it toll
offer up yourself and chose to be whole
Up upon golden wings we venture to fly
Where all things gleam and no one will die
Shadows are gone and truth shines with light
enable yourself becoming what you know is right.
Angel Anglio

Perhaps I need to remind you that gold is of such a malleable quality. And pure gold at that, is by far the softest in its life.
Hence, it shall be easy to mix the smoke of shadows and turn it into an alloy to mark another ally we have created!
The hunger of darkness shall never be fulfilled, nor the thirst for blood can be quenched, and neither of these shall be possible to convert.
Remember once more: The war of Evil and Pitiful Good is that of eternity!
muahahahahahahahaha!!!

I thank thee for thy welcoming,
A pleasure I say on entering!
-
Showers from Heaven's abode don't cleanse a soul
For the seed of darkness in each heart digs a hole
An abyss so deep, so dark, so cold
Evil's prowess shall conquer thy hold!
Be not misguided my fellow being
Purity devine is just a breakable string
A futile barrier, a failed attempt
For the shadows world over live in contempt!
Keep thy robe unto yourself
I thank thee though for thy compliment!
-
I thank thee for your compliment, and I do feel very much honoured to have been welcomed by the Queen of the Underworld herself!
After all, even the so called pure hearts of the angels of heaven carry succumbed amounts of darkness. One day, our realm shall conquer even the purest of heavens!!

Oh CrystalPhoenix,
I, the Queen of Heaven read they words with her golden eyes
..the shining of my golden shadow will stay in the Underworld, for I have no fear for your desire for blood , for my blood is of gold and will never leave me.
I shall embrace your hunger for death and destruction and turn it into hunger for the warm body's of the angels and virgins in Heaven licking on the golden skins instead of rotten meat .A lifetime of serving you in all your wishes and desires will be your award in Heaven
Think it over dear CrystalPhoenix, and just know I will always be waiting for you on the top of the rainbow
Queen of Heaven

Stronger has the abode grown for each new Warrior to Darknesses way that has arrived. Great Death swinging his scythe cannot be denied. Welcome to the land of freedom.
My Dark Queens faithful pet

Excellent darkness of the underworld written here!
Ah, but Love is much more a palletible taste
to digest Hate for dessert seems such a waste
trade smoke slithered robes of hellish design
for white satin folds with sequence devine!
~sending showers from Heaven's Abode to cleanse your soul~
