Curse of Hammurabi

Intensity surrounds this place
Discomfort that I can’t define
An aura that is borne of hate
A loathsome, vile demonic shrine

Nefarious filth linger here
Where decent folk can’t bear to tread
I'm terrorized by coffin’s bier
Or, is that just a desk, instead?

An evil minion rooks my fate—
Invoking Curse of Hammurabi
Intimidating as I wait
In line here, in my bank branch lobby!

Hypnoid Mortals Beyond Reproach

 

Graphic granite, ground into a fine
powder,  mixed 1to1 with barium
 and fluoride.
Artesian well, from the bottom
of the L.A.river pre-packaged in
decaying plastic becomes our
 energy drink.

Injustice fed by piecemeal for the
followers,  desperate and hungry.
What have we become?
A collection of hypnoid mortals
 beyond reproach?
Ejected from our pattern,  thrown
 into preformed geometric shapes?
 Laying ourselves down on sheets
 of mica, our books no longer used,  stacked high as a nightstand beside
 our multidimensional mattress.

We sink into our psilocybin dreams  the sleeper, who cheapens reality,
by ripping dull  pages from glossy magazines, model lives leave no excuse,  to pay attention.

Deceived and dazzled we  build
 furrows with broken collarbone's
a garden for mother earth.
Rabbits and hares run screaming,
for Alice to rescue those who have fallen deep,  into the rabbit hole

Generations, their nescient behavior
ingrained,  has  produced scum covered fish eyes, that cast
a downward glance at poverty

While Farceur,  incessantly pens
 for the elite,  scheduling rehearsals
for the next disaster,  drawing out the next pawn,  in their game of life.

Author's Note
Nyx is the primordial deity of the night. In Greek mythology, she predates even the Titans.

In The Darkest Corner

The air is growing thicker
with putrid intoxication
    ominous of the unseen visages coming alive
And here I lie awake
  in the darkest corner of this cave
    as festering maggots try to crawl into my eye
 
But I am
  more distraught and worried
    about the abomination that comes ahead
Born of wrath and rage
   like bastard pulsing afterbirth
    immersed in a rabid viscera bled and bred
 
I hear it faintly
  like gurgling needles from a jar
    regurgitating icy slivers and bloody shards  
it’s slowly approaching
  with dragging footsteps
     like emaciated dark figures without jaws
 
I can feel it
  like painful cloacal exstrophy
    seeping slowly from a hundred holes
I can sense it
  watching without eyelids
    hovering like dismembered pulsing souls

DARKNESS OF THE BOTTOM

Through this life cycle we will be face with so much depth and deepness, from living this life that at times it will have us feeling, like as though we are losing our minds along with our soul of souls. Yet as each day comes and we have to cross into an different dimension of a vision of thyself, even as the pain drags and digs deep within the subconsciousness of our inner thoughts that beats loud from our heart. Making the struggle seem so impossible as we have hit rock bottom with no way out of the darkness, but even though some of us have been here before and we survived the trip through the darkness of the storm. For there is always gonna be somethings in this life, that will either scare you and be beyond your control and much as we dont believe it. Everything happens for a reason for to truly understand how life, can send you down to your knees and make or break you, just hit rock bottom and lets see if you can survive for many of souls have became lost within the darkness from within the storm.

Author's Note: The Likhoradka is a female spirit in Slavic mythology that causes sickness. She is considered a creation of the dark god, Chernobog. (K)Corona in Spanish and Russian means crown. Placing the crown on your head is a dual reference to giving the virus to humanity and also crowning the Dark God as ruler of the world. This is based on a more apocalyptic view of a virus with origins explained in old mythology.

Cryptic aggression, I feel it. 
ReggiePoet
Interesting and terrifying images - Tedious fear is very apt at the moment.  
Valeriya 
Intense from beginning to end. 
ReggiePoet
This frightened me in ways I'm not sure about, it was without violence.  
wallyroo92
Yep that's fear alright, stated well and it traps you.  
 Stoney223
True words, and true feelings. 
NBathory
Absolutely horrific stuff. 

This competition is filled with many great visions and takes on fear. My favorite is the poem by fromtheash. As I am still hanging on the words of altars in the dark. That is something I fear: some cult activity were I am to be sacrificed has to be the most scary thing on this list for me. However they are all really great works. No Bull. It will be put to a vote. Thanks to everyone who entered. Still a few days.

Mirrors

Hand before body
Make sure there is light
Head down
Body tense, fight or flight
Movement, peripheral
Eyes wide, skin pale
Nothing ethereal
This shiny glass
Source of my fear
Is it only in my head
Still I can see her leer
