Plague
On a night
That lingering silence
Imprisons me
The only hope I know
Can be found in a pen
That soothes my
Weary mind
Angels walking alongside me
Trying to savor an ounce of euphoria
Before I face the devil himself
No cars or pedestrians
Only a whispering wind
Telling me to reconsider
But this war must be waged
The city lights turned off
As the moon offers light
To my aching soul
I scream to the beast
No more shall
I be infected
By your plague

plague
If I read this correctly this is a man fighting his own demons. If so the title fits well as a fight against the plague of evil. The longer I'm on site the better I an able to appreciate well written free verse like this.........scribbler
