The Song of Lucifer

Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet

 

 

The Song of Lucifer

 

From the crypt his voice is calling

deep Satanic, eerie moans.

The stars drift through a blood-drenched sky

then harmonize with piercing groans.

 

The graveyard's still, no sound escapes

through cold, grey lonely, granite walls.

While God and mankind lie asleep

it's at this time that Satan calls.

 

In each looming necropolis

(where for years the dead lay still)

he elevates sleek marble tombs

with little more than iron will -

 

then sings "The Song of Lucifer"

as the dead in slumber rise,

and chooses who will savor hell

with deep hypnotic, blood-shot eyes.

 

Those poor souls who Satan's chosen

run amok like scattered sheep.

Eternal torture in hell's fire, 

"Pray the Lord my Soul to Keep."

      This is an excellent poem Tamara and very appropriate for the Halloween season. I don't get much time to myself but I'll be sure to stop by your page as often as I can.

        This gave me chills!! You spoke directly to my soul! Great write, but I definitely have a question. What inspired this?! Are you speaking from experience?!

        • Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet

          No, I'm not speaking from experience. I've written a few scary poems for the Halloween season. Thanks for stopping by and offering feedback. 🙂
