Hide Me In Hell

Hide me in hell, not long, less I'll be wait... Unto her whispers and cursed crooked floors 'Twas many a year ago when I was eight That I traveled beyond my darkest tours A game of hide and seek dost children play To catch me, nay, yet of horror I hid Inside a house whose atmosphere was grey As if the dead that died left work undid This night the moon rose high on sober skies And I the victor, bravery, not found But soon my hair would rise from eerie eyes Approaching fast without touching the ground The walls had whispered woes as the stairs screamed After my feet with violence bruised the wood Dare not to die or dare something I've dreamed? In darkness, a pale girl glowed lack of blood Tremors to me, oh bedroom bathed in gloom And she the girl who hearkens haunted hell Where chandeliers and ghostly portraits loom Entwined with spiderwebs and clocks that knell Holding her lifeless hands through rooms I dwell To hide from thee that seek, ay, 'twas the goal Yet here this haunted house has hid my soul Whose cracked windows are cries that scratch the glass Though time has died, by that same house I stroll Watching that young girl cry when my steps pass Johnny Sumler A Creepy, Scary Haunted House Poem, Please

Yes Johnny, it spooks perfectly with all those haunted images. You give the night and extra dose of the eerie feel we need to get in the mood. Great verse, hope it's for a contest - winner for sure.
