Poetic journeys into obscure angles of Space and Time

Food
Things with wings of lace and dream
hover 'round my head
bringing visions that would seem
to fill my soul with dread

I walk a shadowed, twisted street
and vaguely wonder why
as sunlight wanes and eerie darkness
swallows up the sky

Clutching tightly to my hand
a small, misshapen child
croaks words I cannot understand
in a voice both soft and wild

Her words become an urgent cry
for something I must give
something that will bleed and die
so she can eat and live

My eyes grow wide with mortal fear
as they begin to see
more shapes like her that gather here
in close proximity

They grasp and claw and tear and bite
and now I understand
I am the food they seek this night
these children of the damned

Sorcerer
Cloaked in ragged robes of dark vermilion
a twisted, corpse-like being starts to sing
chanting words no throat was meant to utter
and snickering at thoughts of what they'll bring

His rotting, bony fingers gesture wildly
sparks of green Hell-fire kiss the air
filling every mortal soul with madness
and nightmare dreams of torture and despair

Bubbling corruption flows in rivers
inundating everything in sight
as ancient, flying demons ride the darkness
bringing forth their own eternal night

A mindless evil swirls into existence
a crawling chaos covering the earth
causing every living, breathing creature
to curse the very God who gave them birth

and as his final howls dissolve in silence
he kneels before a thing no eye should see
and it, in turn, proceeds to nibble slowly
this self-same fool who dared to set it free

Awakening
The whisper came at midnight
from lips that should not speak
it caused my heart to flutter
and made my knees grow weak

The pallor of her countenance
revealed that she was dead
how then could she form the words
that rang within my head?

Standing by the bedside
I stretched a trembling hand
seeking to reveal some truth
my brain could understand

Her limbs were stiff with rigor
her bosom did not rise
circles dark and sinister
surrounded both her eyes

But then those eyes popped open
those limbs began to flail
and from the very depths of Hell
my Love began to wail

She leaped up from her death-bed
and struck me to the floor
my ears heard one last scream of rage
and then they heard no more
