of imperturbable serenity,sultriness
lone,the sickle moon opalesces across the sloping gravelled path
led from the major site of the village
down into an isolated small remote housing area
where on each side lined with rows of square houses with pitch black windows set into its walls
clumps of trees spill over the rough stone walls,
over which bore the crest of uchiha gleaming in the dark
chill,the cold bleak light streams up the blackened windows silently,
gleams off the chimneys perched on top of the gray slatted roof far and free
up the gutters,up the shadowy long forgotten bower
up the low stone bench
a haze of gray mist hung in the air like battle fumes
through which loomed the menancing shapes of shadows
down the drain they creep
of the damp,decayed sweetish smell of rotting lurks
each seemed to have a life of their own,each was the mirror image that bore perfect resemblance of the original
projection whose motion,appearance perceived upon,
predetermined before their existence
they fall stacked over each other,
move swiftly and merge
seems so similar,yet so different
do they exist or do they not
could they be free or are they slaves for people dreams
cold the west wind to blow
chill my blood hath run
resignedly beneath the dark sky
lay a hideously serene town
nor dread nor hopes spoke
as the death walks through
through the long sash window he peered
a hooded figure towering over
so wild a look upon its countenance,
gaunt and ghastly in the extreme
an utter depression of souls
of no earthly sensation,of the afterdream of reveller upon opium
of bitter lapse into daylife and the hideous dropping off of veil
death comes soon like a toll of a bell
looking down with mocking taunt
all the souls he yearns
with scorching thirst,flare and ablaze
without an idea they learn
with though a guilt they earn
their sorrow gave no token
for in hollow despair tomorrow stays vainly await
forever more..
swish of his long black cloak billowing ,swirling
sways and sweeps off down into the precipitous gloom
from which crimson blooms
as doom crashes
and he claims his throne
long rattling breath quivered
as wisps of vapour rise into chilly night air
the rasp of his voice piercing and thrilling
gasps of terror comes rippling
over the souls his scabbed,wizened fingers clasp
ghastly grim ,the ebony bird beguiling sad fancy into smiling
his fiery eyes burning,nothing further he utters,not a feather he flutters
never flitting,still sitting lonely,perched on the branch
the moon light streaming throws his shadow on the floor
as pairs of feet fleeting
clattering and jangling on the pavement
tottering pile of bones leers,jeers,and sneers
creaking,crawling,howls and cries
breaking,retching,lay crumpled on the floor
writhing,lurching with yells of anguish and dread
matted dark hair splaying over the blood stained floor
jagged pieces of glass shards shattering over
ragged,hoarse breath
mouth opens and lets off a faint gurgling sound
as blood choked and coughed up
fallen souls lay unmoving
death and pain lay proving
lost dreams and faith lay buried and covering
from inside the houses
stood against the wall
a gigantic clock
its pendulum swung to and fro with a dull heavy monotonous clang
mangled corpses,torn ,sliced open across the torso
along the upper chests
throats ripped open
gushes of red blood oozing from the deep gaps
running in rivulets down the board
pooled around the limp,lifeless bodies
leaving dark stains across the matt,over the walls
faces, streaked with bloody lines ,disfigured by horrors told the unspeakable fears,a mingled expression of anger and fright
eyes,with sheer blankness glaze and stare into nothingness
lips,parted with blatant surprise,as the last breath hovers and carried off into the silent night
a boy with dark blue hair hurtled down the main street past a shop
where red lanterns that were once hung from the ceiling smashed,and shredded into halves
strips of paper material littered and strewn the front door
hurried footsteps came rapping in the echoing silence
past several dark houses
no light issued from their curtained windows
he turned up a side street at the end of which
he came to a halt in front of his house
slided open the screen door,he stepped over the threshold into the almost total darkness of the living room
deep into the darkness he peered,long he stood wondering and fearing
half expected his mother beaming up at him
before wrapped her arms around him
darkness there,and nothing more
listened to the quiet of the house
pipes gurgling
the buzzing hum of fridge in the kitchen
ticking of water dropping from the gaucer into the sink
the foreboding feeling deepened
he crossed the room at a run
the creak of his feet upon the floorboards
as he peeked and sneaked round the corner
disappeared down a hallway
whispered softly into the dark
and the words mumured ehco back
merely this and nothing more
then he heard a tapping,from beyond the room
it came rapping from out of the chamber
rhytmical and disticnt
he slipped out and crept along a corridor
reached a dead end ,at which there is a door
it swung open at his touch
into a dark room held his beloved
nor a breath their chests heaved
out of the shadows
a man came into sight
his sleek black hair swept back into a ponytail
beckoning silence conjured upon his scarlet eyes
not a word said,he held his brother eyes
his steely cold gaze hardened
''i have killed all of them'' he told him in a low voice,before threw a knife across,it zoomed past with a soft whoosh and caught him at the left shoulder,opened up a thin line where blood trickled slowly from
into his head the man forced this evening
of deep reddened sky,of d gore and death it bore
the boy shook his head,
dropped to his feets before slumped away on to the floor,gasping and whimpering
''hate me,despise me,if you wish to kill me,by all means just flee,cling to your wretched life..when you have got the same eyes ,come for your revenge''
the man had approached,watching his brother intently
for a moment ,all was still,all was silent
as reassurance fled for ever
the sterner despair reigned triumphant
the echoes of the last chime of clock died away
the flames in the burning red eyes expired
and darkness held dominion all over
