Slowly the forest surrounds
the darkness veils sight
embracing the amber night sky
hoots and creeps switches by
a simple soul walks the night
crouching under the night sky
a shadow engulfs the lonely soul
the greed it stores
the seed grows as it lores
looking at midst sky
a portal opens tonight
a lonely soul peeps inside
trying to find the amber light
will it find
or will it hide
will it search
or will it perish
the darkness
or the flickering of light
as the scene passes by
a spooky hand shakes the simple soul
admiring the beauty that it stores
creeping behind the fallen feet
the broken hand with sheet
blood dripping slowly by
Tainting the river beside
a scoop full of water to quench the thirst
Alas the quench is gone
cause the soul is choked
choked in misdeeds
the crawling night
as amber weeps

A Nice spooky tale well told.
Yep
Thank you so much dear Dusk, trying to venture in different themes…
Glad you liked the spookiness
A beautiful, gothic Poe like piece here spilleronsheet.
I love the way you've weaved the stillness of night and the active nature of the dawn together.
Bravo and I hope all is well!
All’s well dear poet
Was just trying my hands on a different genre
Wish to take a sip of chilly winds and spooky thoughts
So why not shade the canvas with this genre
this is horrorful ........................... 🙂
Hahaha 🤣
I guess I could write it more spookier
So my efforts of writing spooky tales haven’t gone in waste
Dark and eerie poem leaves the reader wondering is this auto biographical or simply the fear to leap for fear of falling.
Ohhhh my !!!you went deeper inside
I wonder if it’s just a nightmare I once dreamt or simply a try of horror by the blue ink
But you really added another meaning to this eerie tale
Now after reading the comment
I am actually pondering inside, what emotions made me write this ?
I’ll be looking over my shoulder tonight. I’d better not look into a mirror too in case I see a shadow behind me. Spooky! Thanks for sharing!
Ummm
Sorry for the scare
Was just trying something different
You have a way of stitching words together, that are spell binding
Thank you so much
The first one you went through was different then my usual themes
Glad you liked it
Dear spiller, felt suddenly was watching a horror movie !!
Yup !! You are really good in scaring us too.:)
Hahaaa
Oops sorry
Was just trying some different genre
It’s better to try some varieties
What if everyone is bored of reading the same me
Looks like I was able to write in other tastes as well
That is so special about you. :))
