Then Came The Darkness

written by: J.M.G.

Enigma

Then came the darkness

The beast bared his fangs

Man needed to rise

Inevitable was the fight

First came the day

the treacherous seed was sowed

Then came the calm

before the inevitable storm

The beast unsheathed

his terrible claws

Daring man to

Strike back – to strike deep

A world thrown into chaos

by this insatiable beast

bloodthirsty – greedy

malevolent spawn

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
