Land Of Shadows
everyone fears the unknown
land of shadows
and serpents
traverse it and see monsters
are but chimeras
smoke and ash
fear helps
not to stop us
but to
make us alert and aware
of dangers
that may lie ahead
everyone fears the unknown
land of shadows
and serpents
many fear most what is found
not ‘out there’
but darkness within
everyone fears the unknown
land of shadows
and serpents

Haunted
I can't believe it was so cheap, the budget just matched with mine, all these rooms at this price, it's old but it's quite devine
I put the key in the lock, the door seemed heavy and quite stiff, I forced it to open wide, it had that old house whiff
I opened all the windows, I made sure all the curtains were opened wide, but I just had a strange feeling, a gnawing deep inside
It felt like I was not alone, there was a presence of pending doom, no matter where I went it followed me, in each and every room
When I took a shower,...

USE WORDS-
Disgraceful-
Shattered delights-
Unstable.
What made you-
De-human this Child-
She Hates you.
Hates you.
Hates you.
Why, does her heart,bleed inside-
She just wants 2 die- yeah.
Why,does her brain-
play those game's-
She just wants 2 cry.
Use Words-
Not fists 2 get them all-
It'll blow them away-
If that don't work-
then tell me now-
What Steps Do We Take?

Ghost Town
Children laugh and sing
rule the streets in play
Ghost Town
Nervous smiles on happy faces
You can almost hear them say
Here in Ghost Town
we promise not to get in your way!
In ghost places
it's just another quiet day
with no one around for miles;
everyone was scared away
rule the streets in play
Ghost Town
Nervous smiles on happy faces
You can almost hear them say
Here in Ghost Town
we promise not to get in your way!
In ghost places
it's just another quiet day
with no one around for miles;
everyone was scared away

Memories
Memories are demons hiding in the closet,
Under the bed, in the attic,
Waiting in ambush with a lifetime store
Of sorrow, anger, regret, & forgotten longing.
They prey on our moments of loneliness
With a tenacity that borders on obsession;
The very shadows come to life with ghosts
We thought we'd long ago fought & banished.
What profit is there in recalling the past
With anything beyond a passing notion?
Good memories only remind us what we've lost,
Bad ones only make us fear the fragility of life.
Perhaps...

Watching the madness
Today I went to your house.

RAVEN DREAM LONGING
RAVEN DREAM LONGING
I search and I search
within the church
inner haven, a raven
hidden amongst the grackles
amongst cackles within longing
within a dream of belonging
I search and I search
within the church
inner haven, a raven
hidden amongst the grackles
amongst cackles within longing

Nonsensical Poetry.
He ignited paradoxical objectivity that was infused with a little
intimate side,that he reluctantly chose 2 include,
laps-a-daisy in oh so fragile mind.
An over used character,daily appeared 2 he
a character that didn't make sense- contradictory.
He tried 2 describe himself
a perspective,he held at a distance mainly
How does one describe one 2 oneself he asked he?
Much better he thought,hearing other people's point-of-view.
This,he found,was a much more comfortable thing 2 do.
After all,he never knew what he was talking about...

psalm 9
___of Andrew___
when his soul travailed in angst
1 is there no way
out of this corner,
O Lord my God?
what shall i say
to bring You nearer
to ichabod?
2 my bosom swells
with wayward passions
imprisoning
the faith that dwells
in waning rations
of reasoning
where once i soared,
an eagle flying
on angel wings!
3 by heav'n adored,
darkness defying,
Your Spirit brings
my only balm,
my consolation,
my corps d ‘esprit.
4 restore my calm, ...

Thing in the Corner
The thing in the corner
An exiled sojourner
Not of this world
Its lips are curled
Bleak eyes of despair
But is it even there?
The thing in the hall
Incredibly tall
Gaping jaw
Wide maw
Staring ceaselessly
I stand fearlessly
The thing behind the curtain
It's there, I'm certain
Scraping it's talons
Observing my talents
I sing until its ears bleed
I will not allow it to feed
The thing behind me
Or perhaps inside me
I've decided a plan
To rid my home of its hand

Silent Knight
Some said he was sent by Morpheus, as the craven waking wight
Imbedded in the nefarious nightmares, as an unholy Silent Knight
Lurking benignly, on the periphery, but it's merely his masquerade
Evoked to ensnare death's dreamers, onto his sabre's razor blade
Nyctophilian ranger renounced the light, to become forever errant
The righteous path's forsaken, for his malice is impiously inherent
Kindred spirits gather all around him, in the catacomb of nihilence
Night hags duping sleepers, as the waking wight haunts in silence
In a dark paralysis of fear, the...

Haunted Feeling
Walking into an abandoned
building that is centuries old.
You get that funny feeling
something is off.
I kept walking towards the
long hallway, and spotted
a stuffed animal, a picture
of a female child.
I didn't want to approach
whatever it is that's attached
to the photograph. I was scared,
or is it just my imagination?
This haunted feeling I have
could be playing tricks on me.
Or, could it be true of what
I'm feeling?
building that is centuries old.
You get that funny feeling
something is off.
I kept walking towards the
long hallway, and spotted
a stuffed animal, a picture
of a female child.
I didn't want to approach
whatever it is that's attached

or is it just my imagination?
This haunted feeling I have
could be playing tricks on me.
