Darkness

Seeping through shadows of the color black,
where i sense you only in the darkness,
but in the sunshine your power will lack,
the light will conquer you with holiness.
However you always seem to come back,
to send the deepest nightmares to our mind.
Returning more powerful and more black.
You are fast and furious being timed,
with claws of shadow, you wrench our heart out.
Your eyes red like blood was seen all the time.
Creating devastating floods and droughts,
laughing madly when seeing a great crime.
As cold hearted and black as mist shadows.
You hide away into the black meadows.
