Friends till the end, forever, they cried
On the battlefield, beaten, tis when they died

Now locked together, by their own man-made chains
Only problem about them, was neither had a brain

You’d think by now, they would know how to break
The bindings around them, how much could it take?

But emotions ran high, and soon they did fight
Yelling at each other, all day and all night

When one would go left, the other went right
Things got so nasty, the neighbors took flight

Then the Devil himself, called them to him
Demanded they behave, and then, on a whim

He decided the two, must forever stay
The way they came to him, on that fateful day

And he went a step further, making sure he was clear
No more arguing nor fighting, or they’d disappear

But that wasn’t the only thing that made them cranky
He named one of them Clinky, and the other one, Clanky

In a cavern, far below the earth
Darkness could easily be found
Violet stones show their worth
Underneath the frozen ground

Shards, the likes of icy gems
Glisten, when they catch the light
But beauty hides the worst of them
They disappear, nowhere in sight

You cannot see the danger, when
You walk across the tundra
The cavern opens up its jaws, then
It carries you, down under

There’s no escape, from the well below
You’ve reached your eternal slumber
And they’ll go back to their violet glow
But your mind, will be torn asunder

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

Catacomb ~ #darkpoetry

I’m afraid, to close my eyes
Though sleep takes over me
It’s when the dead awaken
And I’m no longer free to be

They’re coming at me, running
Demons find the easiest way
To be spiteful, in their glory
And these thoughts, I can’t allay

They beckon to my very soul
To follow where they roam
And I fall helpless to their plea
A ghastly place, this catacomb

Try though I might, to wrestle away
They keep me close, so I can’t breathe
Red eyes, thumping evil hearts
Shooting fire, as they seethe

Inescapable, in their clutches
I try my best, these thoughts, to quell
Yet I cannot overcome the darkness
I’ve lost the battle, in this living hell

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
