Tale of Fright
Frigid hands of a raven sky
Capture murmurs of a feral lullaby
Terror now awakens to cleave sensation
Dismay now devours thoughts of elation
Lucid black, the void prevails
Grasping the mind into its prolonging trails
Body asunder, shattering with dread
Passionate with fear from toe to head
It is from the night... dark, viscous, and saccharine
Dissolving in sky like honey in wine
That mesmerizes thought, body, and sight
Plundering all into a tale of fright...
Inspired by Dean Koontz's books of terror and beauty
