Haunted

A hole in the head shooting pain trembles nightshades coldly down the spine a soul lost in the land of the living carried away in darkness flying inside dark clouds holding just a dream Distant thunder roars lightening splitting cracks sure as the crow flies crawling opens Hell's gates dark jewels of the night charred remains churning in a cauldron boiling goodness tears of thoughts Piercing screams spawning nightmares holding a promise once made walking in a valley amongst the dead shadows now smile hearing animals scream as the moon plays silver dancing light Dreams snatched away from reality the crow calls echoes in silence victims of this world howling over and back tragedy cries in their pain and suffering eyes seeking light whispers through the branches a heather bleat creature of the night calls Haunted by humans chained to the earth awaiting shadows and sunsets a cursed banshee wails supernatural screams from everywhere and nowhere Mind numbing winds passing through a white silhouette shredded shroud around a heart entombed in agonies' twilight shades clouds darken storms brewed stirring specters chase the wind Cold rains become lost tears the willow weeps in eternal sorrows a lament for the dead as the silver crescent moon smiles goodbye Blends in clear as day after sunrise forgotten in a valley of unrest death bell's toll out from the past onyx feathered crows call painful cries Forever seeking heaven's gate now sealed that promised choice was lost ages ago only burning Hell fires or cold earthworms await Written by: Liam McDaid & Kelly Deschler

Hello Liam Mate!! I think I missed this one when I was gone for a week down in Stuttgart. All I can is "Shades of Halloween!!" The imagery and the picture your paint with your words here feed off of one another and leave the reader with his or her end choice: Burning Hell Fires or Cold Earthworms Await. You've certainly enlivened the "Dark Side" of my poetry with this write My Brother Leprechaun!! Very Well-Done!! A "7" + FAV. Best Always, Gary
