dusk arising

one of those nights

 

 

A dark forbidding tower haunts my restless dreams
beneath a still - greasy stain of blood red moonlight
where shaken fearful.. a bone crushed anguish
sinks it\'s steel taloned claw chill finger of despair
to tickle free a sly heartbeat or two from
any mortal foolishly afoot this forsaken soulless night


welcome ye now to this balmy coolness
the cold comfort of my shivvering fear
as behind me creaks closed that last door to sanity
and ragged edge of screams rip through eardrums to skewer my brain
whilst menace of shadows approach through the walls


ignore they sounds
as thee should not hear
and venture not out tonight
bolt thee doors tight
and sleep thee well
