Descent

DESCENT Way down in catacombs, sleeping stairs descent
a depth that silhouettes ice cold hell. I’m chilled, yet curious. why tour where ghosts hang out? a sign suggests that we should leave, icicles quip “beware” of picked clean bones.
We do enter a mass grave dead womb and silent feet doth creep along this crypt. So many skulls and bones, our eyes are glued. Should i reach out should i touch stone i don’t

Ooooo! The catacombs! This is creepy dark writing that brings shivers - a really good, scary poem! :)

I like this one, Mrs Kim. I have always been intrigues by the catacombs.

Thank you, Daniel! I visited the one in Paris. Was something! The workers got creative with the bones.

I find it amazing that when I read your poetry, regardless of theme or form, I find my mind traveling in whatever world or scene you have created. This was no different except this journey was creepy. You are very talented my friend.
