The Scream

The Scream

A tiny seed was planted a time ago..
 In time came a sprout out of the fertile soil,
 A lone main sat on a bridge look into space
 Taking his hands pressed to both cheeks he screamed...

 It lit a spark to what he had been waiting for
 faces, hands & feet
 Shallow pool of water at his side
 A willingness to go run away & hide

 Viscous long hanging fangs that fright blood dripping off side
 Satan laughing spreads his wings
 Faces in the window having storms in the night
 Eyes with darkened tombstones in his head

 The tale of the walking dead
 Having to get it out of his system
 Shades of darkened portals of yesterday's passing
 He must look deep inside having nothing to hide

 The stalk of the sprout is now bearing its timeless fruit
