Assassin

In dark stone hallways
I linger; hidden.
Only the shadows you see.

A ghost, a spirit,
An apparition,
Is all that I am to thee.

A morbid plot
Of execution
Swirling about deep inside.

Once I reveal my purpose,
No strength in yourself
Will you find.

Creeping silent.
Deathly cold.
Palm clasped about my blade.

'Heavens Vow' -
The dark swords name;
Enchanted with God-Killing plague.

Drawn from sheathe;
No sound,
Not a whisper.

Thrust between ribs;
All that's left is
To whimper.

A pathetic victim
In my sordid game.
No chance for your survival.

Another Hit
To add to the list.
Another Dead On Arrival.

Really exceptional work - thank you

The darkest you have written for a while. I read it two ways. Literal assassin showing the fragility of life, but also (probably because of my mood today) in a more figurative way. The death dealing blow that awaits us. Us never knowing when it will strike. Sometimes we may glimpse a shadow but ultimately we are unaware of our own end. Loved it :)

@bryanrobertheap thank you my friend! You're too kind! 😊

@jojo72 thanks! I actually never thought of it that way, but reading it again showed it up! Thanks for that! 😊 I'm thinking of a follow up... Continue the story, if you will... To be continued! 😊

@Weirdwolf thanks for re-posting dude! 😊

@ShaunJenkins Your most welcome ;)

@ShaunJenkins Well I have been in an odd mood all day ; easy to read many layers into something when feeling pensive. Looking forward to the next part :)

Great like this one as well it's deep and meaningful 😊

@aleishagayle20 thanks 😊
