Night Creature,(Part One)

The darkened moon was somewhere
I could feel it on my skin
Like a cold embracing tomb-shroud
As the stain of age-old sin

I roamed this ancient city
Only shadows did I meet
In the ramparts,on the rooftops
Twisted shadows in the street

Firstly a great Welcome to Neopoet and I hope that your time with us will be a good one as I think that you can bring with you the stories of old that many here would love to hear,
Have a lovely walk with us..
Wander your city with the thoughts of ages and let them flow, sometimes a gentle folk will hold your council and many others from the reaches of time.
Let them in, they are there, but make them be orderly in their effect on your thoughts, I have let them wander for a moment and there they were wanting to talk of many things..

The darkened moon was somewhere
I could feel it on my skin
Like a cold embracing tomb-shroud
As the stain of age-old sin

I roamed this ancient city
Only shadows did I meet
In the ramparts,on the rooftops
Twisted shadows in the street

Ancient feet had long since gone
I tried to see them there
They shrouded time in their years
and would not come to me

They had many fears
Todays life was not for them
Horses and open spaces then
A hard but fruitful life they said

You could see their dreams
Ghost like, to make you scream
Give to me the things I knew
Remember who fought for you

They gave in and spoke in gentle tones
That their family would be the ones
Who they would talk to of times gone by
With that their messenger did fly..

They await your thoughts, so that they can teach you many things, I have just touched the ways of their time, but you will have to sort out,, the things that they in memory can tell you..
Go well and I await your future writes, Yours Ian.T
