Poetry: Acrostic poems

Created on: March 16, 2009

A COLD DARK NIGHT.




Abandoned soul lost in a tempestuous storm

Cascading raindrops stream down the windowpane

Oblivious is she to her own mournful wailing

Leeches line up to lay claim on their investment

Darkness falls soundly, hollowing out the pit of her being

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap cost her more than her life's worth

Abundant is her despair as she lay spread eagle in a trance

Retching pain sears a trail of unbearable anguish through her

Knight in shining armor rusted stiff in her backyard

Noble efforts faltered, too frozen is her spirit

Invincible is she to Love's embracing flame

Gone is her heart, forbidden fruit consumed by savages

Howl wind, Howl, sing a song of Misery

Tonight she is a ghost cast away amongst the shadows
