Forbidden Castle

Crows gather around the mysterious, abandoned castle, Its bastions and towers drowning within a mournful silence. Ghostly shadows loom within the dungeons and the murder holes, Screams of perished souls are locked within the castle walls. Long it has stood there upon a mountain of tempestuous winds, Withholding a secret from haunting years passed. Stones big, dark and looming, an ancient evil lurks inside, Creeping through each room, an eeriness unexplained. Each corridor discloses a tale of bloodshed on that dreaded night, when the devil sent his descendants to run havoc amongst the mortals. The bitter queen who summoned them did not live to confess the tragedy, She took her life, witnessing all before her slaughtered including the adulterous king. As a child, I had heard countless legends of the forbidden castle, Of the torture chambers and the merciless beheading of the accused innocent. Many have warned, “Beware…stay away…” and now I stand before the entrance, The devilish crows watching knowingly, as if they foresee my fate. “Beware the snares in the dark, for Death grins, awaiting your coming…” A special collaberation with The Silent One Thanks for the opportunity! :)
