What Lurks Within

I picture in my mind an old colonial room,
With a door to the garden where my flowers can bloom.
 
A window in the back to see the main house,
A leaky roof and the scurry of a mouse.

Mold on the floor and old bricks...

Premium Member Evil Lurks On Halloween
A fright filled night is Halloween
Monsters and goblins make me scream
Scary costumes, some too extreme
An evil scheme         An evil scheme

Red splattered shirt from fake blood stains
No! These drops spilled from human veins
Vampire fangs caused the victim's pains
His...

Reality Lurks
Reality lurks beneath the moon,
The reason for it comes, some soon,
Different religions, all have part of the tune,
My words find some derision.

Clear your mind, till you can see,
Expect, believe with sincerety,
The Master is, will come for ye,
It’s only your decision:}

His  spirit from the bright...

Emptiness pervades this room.
A barren womb,
Devoid of life.
Quiet is the light it bears—
Without shadows.
These four walls yearn for dressing
To yield warmth
For the cold and desolate 
Spirit held within.
This is a fallow cell that
Awaits the dwelling seed—
A fertile family
Whose footsteps will cultivate
The pulse of life—
The embryo—
The...

What Lurks Within

Were it once a bright and honest form
Un-pestered by the flies now round it swarm
The purity be gone, though be deceptions fault
Un-blamed and yet desires could not halt
Offered such a power which man can only dream
And wore the coat, perfectly, seam to seam
Doomed...

Danger lurks around every bend
as one travels the leafy path
peril in each step now does pend

With every move we must contend
as nature rages with her wrath
danger lurks around every bend

Passing onward through life we fend
with the odd brush we fight off death
peril in each step...

Help with the struggles, man's faced with, in life on earth
As man learns life knowledge, instead of grasping worth

A passion to hold all that's seen, since his moment of birth
Is innate desire or thoughts, meant for direction not for girth

I find it ironic when man...

Depravity Lurks
(By GreatFaith) 

My human heart fails me.
My soul is burdened with crisis.
And strong is it’s depravity, 
Vengeance is longed with savagery. 

They say it’s worse than this,
My human heart fails me.
The sorrow and pain exceeds thee,
And hopefulness isn't hard to miss.

And strong is it’s depravity!
Fear...

my curiosity  coaxes me into sneaking in
to this cubbyhole built under an old robust tree
a rumor I heard,  there’s a clandestine
so, I  peep through its small and dusty window pane

I widely open my eyes as I could
while I’m surreptitiously gazing inside this...

What Lurks Within
What lurks outside the window?
What lurks on the other side the door
What lurks inside this stone cold room?
What lurks in this silence?
Some beast cage
With the window
To see the happiness the world brings
To watch the sun set
Unleash its havoc
Under the moons watch
To return by day break
Back...

What Lurks Within
Dear Diary, 

Once again I inform you, my sleepless nights continue
when slowly the dawn blankets the room I awake with you,             
I feel the moisture dripping through the walls onto the cypress floor,...

Outer room perfectly clean
Stone wall
Four squared ancient glass
This old floor without even a spot
I open a wooden gate
Walk through a high arched door
Tools fastened to a wall
Knives, cleavers and a saw
A single glove made of chain
Sheets layed out on the floor
Large hooks hanging from the...

What Lurks Within
Its dark in here, there’s a scuttling noise, there is something I see
The dinosaur of the modern age, silverfish are crawling free.

There is a dripping sound; I smell an old wet rag
In fact the smell is awful, it even makes me gag.

I am keeping very...

DANGER LURKS

My muse is somewhat brazen and always most fearless
Yet takes no heed to my countless calls, I am scared,
Wanders the empty streets of the City, quite gearless
No mask has she with her, police angry, had dared,
Them, oh my in danger, silly muse has been...
