SILENT FEET

SILENT FEET

Source:heckelphono

They walk on silent feet

through the forest so deep.

I must keep moving my feet

without stopping to sleep.

The howling wind plays their song

of bloody deaths for us all.

They’re not for this place for long.

They wait for the town to fall.

They are surrounding me.

I can’t outrun their reach.

Somehow I must get free

and make it to the beach.

The ground is opening.

Sadly I know for whom.

I’m falling in a hole

that will soon be my tomb.

END HOUSE

END HOUSE

A house dark and bleak.
I can’t even speak.
Dark shadows glare at me
Where clear windows should be.

Dare I venture inside?
I will swallow my pride
And cross the threshold
without being rash or bold.

There’s a secret party inside.
I wonder if I should run or hide.
Who’s the host of this feast,
Man or dangerous beast?

COLOR MY WORLD

Source:menpale

Color my world.

In shades of purple.

In hues of violet.

Cover the world

The good.

The bad.

The ugly.

In purple.

SHUT THE BLINDS

SHUT THE BLINDS

You can shut the blinds.

You can close your lights.

You can hide in your room.

But you can’t keep out The Dead.

ICE COLD FEAR

Source:weheartit.com

How did I come to be here?

Cold wrapped around me in fear.

No matter how far I walk.

I could hear them move and talk.

Muttering curses on me.

But faces I cannot see.

They surround me on each side.

There’s nowhere for me to hide.

I must get out of here soon.

Before the next full moon.

THE DEAD COME ALIVE AT NIGHT

The hotel floor creaks.

I slowly turn around.

Where are The Dead freaks?

I hear no other sound.

The lights flicker.

Can the rumors be true?

I feel sicker.

The Dead will take me too.

I can see their faces.

Dark eyes stare at me

As they take their places.

I’ll never be free.

I run through the hall,

But I’m running in place.

I give up and fall.

A grin covers his face.

He leers at me.

Eyes glowing bright red.

A sight to see.

I won’t see my bed.

He lifts me in his arms.

We fly into the dark night.

I won’t fall for his charms.

The Dead come alive at night.

DARKNESS DESCENDS

It comes slowly
In the dead of night,
Walking on silent feet.
It draws closer.
You run faster.
It gathers speed.
You dash into a building,
An empty school.
It follows.
It brings silence.
You can feel its presence,
Moving closer.
It’s hurrying
Along the deserted hallway.
You check the doors.
They are locked.
You turn,
Close your eyes,
And stand firm.
Darkness descends.

MY HAIKU OF DEATH

MY HAIKU OF DEATH

Sliding down below.

Where no one will dare to tread.

Down the dark hollow.

Darkness fills each side.

Gravity, my enemy.

No place left to hide.

I keep falling down.

Will I hit rock bottom hard?

I won’t land on down.

My descent goes fast.

I’ve come to my bitter end.

Life is in the past.

RUN AWAY WITH ME

fuckyeahghostdrops Deactivated

Run away with me 

Come run away with me,

Down the stairs to the sea.

We’ll take a fast ship.

Champagne we will sip.

Leave our troubles behind.

New ones we’re sure to find.

We’ll be together forever.

To me, you will always tether.

Rocky waves are waiting ahead.

But with me, you will make your bed.

JUSTICE IS CRUEL

daredevil Justice is cruel. 

It walks the halls.

It moves too slow.

It bends all to its will.

We run from it.

We bow to it.

We fear it.

It takes no prisoners.

THE DARK OF NIGHT

The moon bows its head.

In retreat behind the clouds.

Hiding its face.

Leaving no trace behind.

That’s when they’ll come.

In the dark.

In the cold.

In the night.
