It stood
Like an inky blot dropped into the night
Craggy finger pointing at a pale moon
It watched
With judging eyes hidden within shadows
Smiling a seers self satisfied grin
It waited
Malevolently patient and calm
Grim monument set amidst darkened waves
The Island
Opened up its arms in welcome to them
Fingers of bone akin to deaths dire embrace
Teeth sprawled out in some frantic disarray
Swirling shades of sombre blue and sickly green
The Island
Beckoned the wanderers into its maw
Whilst the storm brewed malevolently low
Rumbling chorus like tumbling debris
The Island
Finally so close with invasive stance
Gargantuan unmoving monolith
The Island
This forsaken abode of mystery
The Island
Just a little idea I had to write a series of poems that interlinked to form an overall story, starting with this introduction to the setting. I may not even come back to continue this, but I also wanted each piece to be able to stand alone too, so nothing goes to waste.
