Dark Alliance

Written for Lexi's Poetry Challenge 11/28/2005

Dark alliance,
obsidian night
what is wrong, what is right,
when life's lines are so ambiguous?


Hiding in the shadows
slithering in the corners
avoiding the borders
of reasonable men's minds.


Dark alliance,
obsidian night
framed in desires delight,
decisions made with callous hearts.


The sword of righteousness is neutral,
but it waivers when resolve is lacking
and when the will is weak -
All too quickly the sword is consumed...

By the dark alliance,
obsidan night.
