Living Nightmare Zombie

Dragon tears you come from inside a fountain
the burning fire hot trails down the mountain
where agony aches behind a great wall imprisoned 
alone cold pearls drop iced have pity on a poor soul 

The gatekeeper prods with hot irons branding
worthless within the flesh a pain turns cruelly
Into hell's inferno twisting knots in the guts begging mercy 
have pity on the suffering fool playing the violin striking cords 
in a flash captured with strings attached

A joker caught in the darkness chained to agonies madness
its there that the banshee wails crying into the night
in the morning dew you remain salted upon the grass

Lost in the land without a loving heartbeat to be found warm
the spirit of cold nightshades paints from the decaying corpse
walking around afraid of the light shining with love

Hi my friend, as always your poetic imagery makes me feel every word. I especially liked the line, “ its there that the banshee wails crying into the night in the morning dew you remain salted upon the grass“ and “ walking around afraid of the light shining with love” . Your pen still sings the ultimate fervent tale....
