Monsters Fear Me

Monsters Fear Me

The evil hand of Darkland stayed my play
punishing innocence in a most cruel way
Deep were the slashes cut into my back
No charm did I have to stop this attack
when unearthly monster crossed my track

Midnight Sun lit its fierce green eyes
flames belched forth from darkened skies
Roars so deep trees trembled in dismay
This creature came to kill not to play
would I live to see another sunny day

Tall as the mighty oak trees it stood
nothing about it nice, nothing good
Slime laden scales oozing out foul odor
Chills sent up my spine so much colder
would have ran had I been much older

Nothing to do but chant my power song
pray my courage lasted out that long
A bold cry to Skylord to quickly smite
This massive monster on this dark night
then hope for a searing hot beam of light

Seconds ticked on like hours dripping by
where was the Skylord's life saving reply
As my last desperate hope started to fail
Lightning bolt blasted that monster to hell
now live I to rejoice and so happily tell

Thanks given out for my song being heard
faith in goodness, faith in his mighty word
No evil dared again to attack God's child
My heart so strong, my spirit still so wild
Monsters fear me even when I am this mild

Oh, I like this dark and emotional piece too, +++ for great rhyming. Your poem makes me think of the fairy tales I heard as a child, of Stephen King novels, the fight between evil and good, the fights we battle with ourself........ I enjoyed this, it also goes well with the season and the Halloween spirit.

Robert . . . You're a man after my most macabre heart, feelings, and dark emotions. A most outstanding write here my good friend in every respect. And a most outstanding "7" as well, and I've saved it as a FAV. I got another one of my horrific poetic writes currently under construction for near-future release. Again, a most fabulous piece here!! Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
