WASH AWAY MY SORROW

Wash away my sorrow and pain.

Let it flow the streets with the rain.

The ocean takes it far away

To places, we cannot say.

Where no one can feel its sharpened sting

Or know the infliction it may bring.

Let the rain grow harder with might,

Hailing on this dark, fateful night.

I want to be free of all traces

Of unwanted feelings and faces.

My body grows cold from the rain,

Standing clean and free from the pain.

I hold my head high to the wet spray

as it turns into a mist of gray.

Once the faucet has shut for the night,

I’m left at peace with the coming light.

WELCOME THE NIGHT

Welcome the night
And its good friend, the moon.
Do not take flight
From the man in the moon.

Let the moon take over
From the sun’s bright reign.
Let the sun take cover
Without severe pain.

A thick blanket will fall,
Giving the earth security.
Darkness will cover all
With its fine grace and purity.

For the sun, no need to pine.

Don’t waste precious time mourning.

The stars will twinkle and shine.

The sun will rise come morning.

THE SHADOW

Shadows fill my room.

I’m going to swoon.

It looks like a woman.

But not at all human.

The town is scary.

It’s getting hairy.

Florida isn’t all fun.

Not a walk in the hot sun.

SECRETS

Night comes near.

The moon rises.

The birds swarm.

The Dead rise.

The portraits come alive.

Eyes follow us from below

the glass floor.

Alligator eyes.

A pool of alligators.

The Dead are alive in THE DEAD GAME.

Do The Dead sleep in coffins?

Do they sleep in beds like humans?

What about human vampires?

I wouldn’t go inside.

You don’t know 

who is waiting for you.

Who?

The Dead.

The best way to survive in Oasis

is to keep your mouth, ears and eyes shut.

The Dead don’t like intruders.

• 

The house is deserted.

A warm wind blows the windows open.

The breeze ruffles the curtains and

lifts the sheets covering the abandoned furniture.

What happened to the last family living there?

They disappeared in the night,

never to be heard from again.

A stormy night that was filled with

dangerous lightning and thunder.

End House holds many secrets.

Should we venture inside to uncover

its secrets?

Or should we leave these secrets to

grow and fester, along with the other

secrets hidden in Oasis, Florida?

CHARIOTS OF HELL

Dark blue clouds fill the whole sky.

Puffy cotton balls up high.

Rumbling sounds all around.

Crashing noises of loud sound. 

Chariots of hell are coming here.

We need to get away before they near.

Hell has opened to let them out.

They come for us all this dark night.

PARADISE LOST

Source:insane—world 

The light grows too dim.

But I can see him.

He follows close behind.

But me he will not find.

I will hide in the tree.

He’ll think I’m out to sea.

The sun is setting.

Me he’s not getting.

He’ll snatch another mortal.

Before he returns to his portal.

To his hole in the ground.

That’s where he will be found.

With his kind he will play

Until dawn the next day.

PERFECT

lumiant

Perfect.

A little too perfect.

Beneath the magenta sky

hides a deadly presence.

A force of darkness

rising with the cold moon.

To snatch the residents

from their comfortable beds.

Adding them to their collection

of The Dead and gone.

Gone from the light.

Gone from the living.

To dwell in the darkness of night.

Take care to remember,

as you lay your head down to sleep,

that nothing can stay perfect forever.

RED RED ROSE

I stand alone.

In armies of red.

To face the night.

While others are dead.

Come no closer.

Fear my open face.

Stay away from here.

But they quicken their pace.

Tomorrow will be here soon.

l am all that is left.

Bow your heads in prayer.

Thank the gods for the test.

DARK SHIP

A luxury yacht sails the ocean.

Aboard are many guests.

Dressed in jewels and ball gowns.

Champagne flows freely.

Music fills the night air.

Bodies fall into the water.

Some are swimming.

And some are not.

Blood trickles into the dark water.

Covered by the moon’s shadow.

Cries increase in tempo with the music.

Until silence sweeps across the dark ship.

THE DEAD GAME continues…

RAIN DROPS

The rain drops sprinkle so bright.

I close my eyes this dark night.

I can see the twinkling light.

As I keep my eyes closed tight.
