full moon bleeding

Men abandon sound reason
go where life and death convene,
a place where lost, decaying hopes
fester evil in between.

Winds blow stench of humans' sins
warning strangers to beware,
the smell of fear now draws near
and suffocates the foul air.

Moon's bleeding, mental lesions
ache and percolate inside,
decomposing bodies taunt
those who thus far haven't died.

Ravaged corpses spilled on streets
carnage of a vengeance curse,
withered wills of nervous men
in drowning fear they're immersed.

Ghastly, rabid vampire bats
savage chaste and honest souls,
ravage bodies, drain the blood
entrails vultures swallow whole.

Punished for their vulgar guise
forsaken by human kin,
ghouls shriek angry, anguished cries
cautioning their vowed revenge.
