The Petrified Forest!....(John Loving Iii Haunted Poets Game?)
Frightened by the darkness of this eerie night
Crystal eyes cracked, by the horror of its sight
A phantom amid the forest of these petrified trees
Of barrened branches, stripped of their leaves....
Taunting eyes filled with fire, flames, as he soon does approach
Souls dripping, from the sickle of this host!
Hansel and Gretal lost, along the trails which encumber the most?
Startled by the sight, of this ghoulish ghost
And now, dashing through the woods as they run for their lives
Yet to no avail has become, the destiny of their plight....
These stories foretold, that could find no passage through
The sinful groves, which had waited upon the two!
Since their longings and their doings, that had led them to this place
Knarled and twisted, blood, soon to be spilling from their fates....
Thorn pierced panes, exploding amid these driving rains
And sliver broken sashes, which shiver within their blues
Afore these vertical visions, of had they only knew!?
This echoing laughter; while the pages do bleed
Hansel and Gretals fairy tale, tainted, amongst their darkened deeds....
No longer searching, for their ginger bread house
As the taste of doom awaits, their wanton, and delicious dates....
Screaming as you now awaken, from this foreboding dream
Christie Moses, its now your turn, to warn....So, let it be!?
