Unleashed Demons

Reaching past dust
cobwebs and such
bringing to light
a darkness like puss


This gurgling evil
reaching the night
darkness is merging
blood thins with fright


Purple the hue 
smearing the sky
blooding the moon
as evening cries


Gripping the stars
this misery held
rustling nasty
A new reigned hell


Wraiths of demons
flow from sight
marking their way
in crimson delight 


Howling Hell-hounds
raging through scrub
growls of hunger
fake calls of love


Leaping through trees
shadow reapers appear
raking their talons
in whatever lay near


Shutting this rage
that claws into mind
locking this evil
from staining mankind
