Authors Note:  We all have those demons hidden away.  This poem reflects the triumph over the evil.  Words in boldface, at the end of the poem, are the partial lyrics to the song “Slay the Dragon”, written by my dear friend, John Kooch.  Used with Permission.

Darkness hides in closets, deep

Awakens, when you’re fast asleep

Lurking in the corners, where

It roams about without a care

Closing in, around your bed

This demon lies, inside your head

Don’t let him get the best of you

Fight! With everything that’s true

“In the dark, behind closet doors
I’ve got mine, I know you have yours….
Slay the dragon, all the courageous are blessed
Slay the dragon, until there are no dragons left”

Night turns to day
And day into night
Trying hard to hold on
With all of my might

A rope burns my hand
And I’m starting to slip
Sweat from my palms
Makes it harder to grip

The reality of all
I have fought to forget
Though darkness creeps in
There’s no time for regret

Trying hard to hold on
With all of my might
Yet, I’m slipping away
I’m not able to fight

The demons that kept me
And haunted my soul
I’ve lost who I am
Evil’s taken its toll

Winds do howl, through bars of pain

Unlock the demons, pour the rain

Scatter them, about the ground

Unleash the haunted, perilous sound

As water sears their ashen skin

No safe haven, can they hide in

Tears them up, into small bits

Ravaged souls, into the pits

Where once they were the gentle sages

Now just evil, released from cages

Corridors once marked the time

Where mortals held their stance

Are now just empty, barren halls

Arranged or happenstance?

Where once the ladies danced about

Carousing with their men

Drunk with laughter, lust and love

They would never see again

The warriors who held these walls

And built this great blockade

Were felled, against the demons

No match for the Devil’s brigade

Harrowing screams, footsteps aflight

Shattering darkness, piercing the night

People running, ahead of the pack

Children crying, don’t look back

 

Fleeing from creatures, eyes aglow
Wolf like features, purely foe

 

Fast as you can, get away from this town

Devouring all, they will never back down

They never let go, no, they growl with delight

Eerily howling, under pale moonlight
