The Haunted

An excruciating Sunset gradually plunged behind my frail head Dazzling glooms of muscular flames surrounding corners of my bed With gleaming ominous vessels burdened by wonders of the dead Enriched with overflowing water that curses the entire glory night Blinding over the house spectacle & baffling it from the divine light With souls buried with depraved crops administering a spiritual fright Yet covered with overwhelming windows that blaze & baffles so bright As the sun lights up, my body felt colossal pains & sizzling stitches While native doctors cleansed the house from specters & witches Ghost whispers cleansed the enclosure & discovered a vital purse As I snatched the purse; marvels of evil specters conveyed a curse Overwhelming revelations brushed my eyebrows & darkness prevail Then packed all my belongings and now live to instruct & tell the tale I've dwelled on the devil’s haunted throne, & my eyes have seen my ears A diligence course has been haunting my soul for days, months, & years Maybe the haunting started at conception or the day I was blithely born It appears that I’m brain dead; my soul, real name, life, joy, & love is gone All the events that happened; and my baptism name doesn't feel like me Sometimes I question my faith, bow my dim head, or kneel on one knee Asking the lord almighty questions about my demise, & where ill surely be A yawning frosty gloom sheltered the space, while angry specter swarm Vocalizing a solitary voice; shafting my thoughts with a twisting storm’ An indistinguishable earthquake twisted the hasty wits of my crony’s pet while it rattles it’s diffused head ;& specters slit the collar of my white shirt I’ll never forget that mind smashing instant ,when the dim curse emerged As the skirmishing holy ghost bash ,& the evil swarm of specters surged Ooh my fellow soldiers; learn to put god first in anything you do or think Because he’ll pave your lost soul to him; and the devils evil demise will sink
