From my new Blog, Tales From The Dark Book Of Poe, Oct 23rd,1977 as was written, after midnight clock struck its blackest hour. Blog Posted:6/11/2020 2:30:00 PM Blog, Tales From The Dark Book Of Poe, Oct 23rd,1977 as was written, after midnight clock struck its blackest hour. Night Of Shadow, Poe, House Of Usher's Bloody Dust Midnight hour when an horrendous silence then struck magical its great power, in it I was stuck cast into a dream, one of whispering delays set aloft on a beam, passing clouds dark and gray into realm with a clear message given to me stroll on in without fear, and grab the golden key! Down a dark word path, I so courageously trod facing hellish wrath, along its trail I did plod into land of black, such great markers of the dead time I lost track, divergence in my aching head then came that recall, a faithful mission commanded to get it all, and dare not leave empty handed! From distant bell, came rhyming music to my ears I was not feeling well, as heart felt its deep fears next a shadow came, and begged to tag along inquiring my name and then sang a mourning song led me past stones, of those fallen in darkest sin snakes crawling on their bones, all had a wicked grin! Then I horror thus I knew, this a nightmare black within its course I must pursue, grab and get back you will find your treasure beyond those rusty gates bravery's measure, there the golden tomb awaits hold on there my good friend, shadow screamed with a shout near the end, duty bound, dare you not turn about! Tho' I may die, I entered ancient musty crypt aghast was I, as all its contents had been stripped yet dried blood on the gloomy red walls, showed a fight from outside I heard wailing calls, you die tonight seeking to flee, yet I knew grab something I must fear grabbing me, I left with only bloody dust! As I fled, screamed my fears, hearing those distant words faster I went switching gears, I flew like a bird far away on distant hill, I heard a new call its words sent a cold chill, it cried soon you will fall your are captive in a garden plot, and will stay Poe lives here, tho' House of Usher is in decay! Morning call rang out, rooster sounded its alarm I woke praise God with a shout, thanking God no harm rising from bed, I saw a shadow fly away its eyes glowing red, wailing "soon, soon you will pay" I screamed with all my might, God's help is now a must more fright, for at bed's foot was, piles of bloody dust!
