DROWNING


Source:

I’m lost,
Drowning in despair,
Falling deeper into sorrow.
I want to let go,
And sink to the bottom,
My head submerged.
With no fight left in me,
No will to go on,
The darkness will take me.
Into its arms, 
I willingly go.
I’m ready to surrender
To the everlasting void.

THE DARK FOE


Dark day
Source: hiraeeeth

Night drifts closer.
Black replaces blue.
Clouds fall slowly.
A dark day for you.

Grey clouds soak the pink.
The waves hit the shore.
I know what you think.
You can’t take much more.

Truth is hard to bear.
Our town lost its glow.
Nightwalkers are here.
Lost to the dark foe.

A DARK COCOON


eclipse
The moon passes the sun.
Morning bows out, all done.
Darkness unveils its grim poker hand
to the drum beat of the marching band.

A moment of blackness
brings fears of more darkness.
What if your life was all dark?
The sun never lefts its mark.

The mornings and nights the same,
bringing you mountains of pain.
No relief from the bleak cocoon
like digging your grave with a spoon.

Years fade and turn to dust,
your memory goes bust.
Trapped in walls of despair,
without holes for the air.

Is this living or not?
She is stuck in one spot.
Too afraid to venture outside,
a further blow to her lost pride.

She hides in the nursing home,
where she reaches for the phone.
“Help me,”​ she cries out.
No one can help out.

Lost in her dark cocoon,
where she fits like a spoon.
Waiting for death to take its flight
to a better place in the light.

A COLD HELL




Blackness beckons.
Fingers grab for me.
Teeth rip at me.
Fish beside me.
Laughter rains down.
The Dead  below.
A cold hell for me.
I am lost.

WAITING FOR YOU


Welcome to End House.
All may enter.
The house is dark,
but we are waiting for you.
Follow the candles down the dark
hallway and take the stairs to the basement.
Surprises are in store for you.
Would you like some wild animals or
a pit into nothingness?
We have that and much more.
THE DEAD love their games.

DROWNING

Lost.
Drowning in despair.
Falling deeper.
Wanting to let go.
Sinking to the bottom.
Head will soon be submerged.
No fight left.
No will to go on.
Let the darkness take me.
Into its arms I go willingly.
Ready to surrender.
To its everlasting blackness.

DANGLING HORROR

DANGLING HORROR

It dangles before me.
A horror to be felt.
All consuming.
Almost tasted.
Walls closing in.
Becoming a coffin.
My fears circle round.
Waiting to be unleashed.
Darkness holds me in place.
Stiff as a corpse.
A tiny dot of light.
Showing me the way.
A peek at my tormentor.
A glimpse of hell.

DARK SHADOWS OF MY MIND





The nightmare of my mind,
Crammed with trees and dirt.
A deserted forest of the night;
No visitors or intruders.

Graves mark the spots
Where life once stood.
Replaced by shadows,
Drifting in time and space.

A space pitch black,
Deep in the recesses of my mind.
No way to escape it
For it follows me everywhere.

TWO-FACED WONDER

black rose


TWO-FACED WONDER



Beautiful rose.
Soft and velvety.
Protected by sharp thorns.
Bright in the sunshine.
Dark in the moonlight.
A two-faced wonder.

A MIND'S EYE



A MIND’S EYE

Mesmerizing.
Enticing.
The eye holds secrets.
Mysteries.
Flashing colors.
Streaming lights.
Across a black emptiness.
A universe of knowledge.
A universe to behold.

DARKNESS IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND





  1. DARKNESS IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND

    A room full of books.
    You can feel them with your fingertips.
    But you can’t see a single word.
    Your senses are sensitized.
    Every single noise is amplified.
    But you can’t see light.
    Or colors.
    You are blind.
    In a world full of color.
    Your fingertips lead you.
    Your senses guide you.
    Darkness is your only friend.

THE OTHER SIDE WAITS FOR YOU



The other side waits for you.
And only you.
No one else will do.
You can run.
But you can’t hide.
It will follow you
until you accept
the inevitable.
Look at your reflection.
See it wither and fade away.
You will be gone.
From this world.
And stuck in the next.
What will you find there?
It’s a surprise.
Aren’t surprises supposed
to be good?
Maybe.
Maybe not.

ANY VOLUNTEERS?

lifeisthefight:


The noose is waiting.
It needs a victim.
Who wants to be one?
You have no choice.
The Dead will pick their victims.
How do you want to die today?
You should have remained indoors.
No good comes to those who wander
the streets of Oasis at night.

THE DEAD GAME -- DAY 104

THE DEAD GAME — DAY 104


     After Linda and David were gone, Todd quietly asked Sam, “Is everything under control? Can we keep this contained, with everything else that has happened? People are getting too suspicious. This last killing has raised questions about vampires.”
     “I’ll keep it contained…I have no other choice. Maybe someone from our group has turned. This has to involve more than one person. This time bite marks have been left behind on a body fully drained of blood. The culprits are either getting more careless, or else they are leaving behind clues because they want to be found out. It’s getting harder and harder to cover up the bodies.”
     “I’d like to find the guilty party before Diane’s next meeting. We must deal with this situation quickly and quietly,” said Todd.
     He decided that this was a good time to update Sam of recent events in town. He pulled Sam away from the other police officers who were busy examining the crime scene. He began, “I almost lost Linda this week!  She was attacked in the ocean. I wasn’t able to identify the swimmer, since he was wearing a wet suit with a mask. He looked tall and muscular. Unfortunately, this description fits most of the men from town, except for Carl, who is much too skinny. In addition, her store had been almost destroyed by an earthquake-like force, but there had been no earthquake or tremor of any kind in town that day.”
     Sam was shocked to hear of these new developments. “This situation is growing worse by the day. Shana also had a life-threatening incident. In the middle of the night I found her balanced on the ledge of the church’s tower…looking like she was about to jump off. Only after I shouted her name a few times did she finally notice me and move away from the edge. Afterward, she claimed that she’d been hypnotized. I don’t understand how she could’ve been hypnotized if I’d been with her the whole evening…just outside her bedroom door where she’d been sleeping….”
     “I agree. It had to be someone with great powers, who was able to hypnotize someone against their will, and from a good distance. If he’s from the splinter group, then this will continue to grow worse—unless we stop them for good.”
     Todd continued, “Events in town have taken a shocking turn: becoming more unexplainable and hinting more of the supernatural. David and Mike complained about bat-like creatures attacking them on the cliff below End House, and then at Wolf’s house, we were attacked by a cave full of bats. Did you know that Wolf sits on the board of the company that owns End House? Wolf is someone we should be investigating further.”
     “Oh great! This situation keeps getting sicker and sicker. Do what you have to; but don’t get too close to Linda—it could get too dangerous for her.”
     “What about you and Shana? Practice what you preach.”
     “Touché.”
