No one asks, where the howls come from

The screams, the forsaken, echo, and thrum

A mysterious glow, envelops the house

No one dares near it, not even a mouse

For evil lies heavy where no man has been

The howling of spirits, releasing their sin

Cast away these beasts, ungodly, at best

Immortal creatures, no longer blessed

Demons, each Lucifer, an evil disgrace

Still fight for their right, on this Earthly space

They never knew, from where it came

Its fire blazed, remained untamed

Wheels that spun on rails of steel

Created madness, endless zeal

The Devil’s locomotive roared

As flames, under and over, soared

Left a trail of smoke and ash

An acrid smell, from evil’s clash

Of brethren lives, taken, in vain

To ride, forever, this demon train

Out, on this cold, dark and rainy night
The mist, dimming everything in sight

No matter where I looked for light, no luck
Twas when the noise, of thunder, struck

Caught me off guard, my heart in my throat
Feelings of doom, began to denote

The reason I was here, caught in the storm
Standing alone, on this creaky platform

Waiting impatiently for the train, all along
It’s where I knew, I would always belong

With no lights to guide me, I continue to roam
Yes, the devil has taken the only place I call home

Riding the tracks, to the next place, I’d dwell
I’m boarding this train, next stop, living hell

Nightmares Keep Us Dreaming ~ #poetry #FebruaryWriting

We always tip the scales of time

When imagination guides the way

Angel prays for justice

While the Devil wants to play

Creation can be an illusion

One we never can debate

Without the conflict of these two

One for love and one for hate

Will the powers that be triumph?

Or will the evil always win?

Though purity is less and less

There seems to be more sin

The nightmares keep us dreaming

Though this is not what we should do

Awaken the promise of tomorrows

With the light that can break through

Friday Fantasy ~ Realm of Shame – #dark #poetry

Sparks, that flare from flowers, flame

Fires ignite, in this realm of shame

Incantations, watch the petals burn

Enchantment gone, forever spurned

Desire, explodes, like fireworks

Shattering, quickly, as a demon smirks

Fearing the dark, no light where you stand

You slip, ever slowly, into evil’s command
