Hidden Secrets

MLMM First Line Fridays Writing Challenge

Challenge: The first line is given and we write the rest.

First Line: Below them, the dark streets beckoned with crimson light…

Below them, the dark streets
beckoned with crimson light
where all secrets are hidden
deep in the ebony night
where if one dare to tread
may take on the
vociferating woes of dread
for secrets do not lie in silent wait
they slowly take root
in the unseen depths
where one cannot see
these growing behemoths
that keeps one captive
and unable to flee
the soul’s only recourse
is to allow the Crimson light
to shine its power and might
turning these behemoths
into ashes by…
the all Consuming Fire
to not be beckoned
by the dark streets secrets
but, instead to live exalted in…
Freedom’s Empire
