Hells’ Maze

Howling wind in the dark of night
screaming loons from the forest
beyond the blackest shades
they waited in the maze
salivating for signs of mortal sins
made by powers beyond the ken
of human’s inquiring mind

they move in droves
these minions of darkness
to search for preys
to inflict upon their wickedness
for scrambled minds
of human wits they dart
for and attain, full to their gain

screams and shrieks the deranged mind
kicking and struggling to escape
these darkness trolls of nothingness
cares not to look nor validate
the gibbering darkness within
the mind of malevolent frenzied souls
they drag these penitents to the maze

within this maze the specters gaze
with needful hungry eyes
the gibbering terrified souls
those evil depraved souls
whose humane-self had long departed
for regions full of debauchery
murderers of innocence, killers of children

this the darkness closed
around the doomed black souls
to feast upon the sins
that rippled to hurt and maim
others more pure, blameless beings
they circled the terrified cluster
closed and closer like famished lovers

they pounced and wrapped their tentacles
on orifices unknown to man
to suck and gobble the darkness within
round and round they clenched
their suckers upon their spurting darkness
screams, shrieks, howls, gut-groans
emitted from suffering forms below go heeded

when at last the deed was done
crumpled nothing in the maze
dark oily stains on yellow diseased grass
shimmer dolefully in the jaundiced light
nothing left but moans and haunting mewls
from something under the ground
within the mysterious labyrinth
