Memories of the Night

The queen of the daylight lurks likes memories.
Then is gone her silky array of words in Bangla
Disappearing fast as the blue king of the night in Hindi,
She regains her place, moves back and forward,
sits in the throne of the dappled memories in English
wheels to stalls: maladies and wellness of the world.

Words are loaded with possibilities

Premium MemberEvil 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 warm blood drains   His warm blood drains

Night prowlers

The Beast That Lurks

There sleeps a monster in my heart,
I thought that I had tamed,
Perhaps I never will escape,
Because we share a name.

He holds within him darkest depths,
As violent as can be,
And yet his only fervent wish,
Is simply to be free.

I wonder how he nested here,
Or just from whence he came,
For there are times I question if,
We simply

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 earless,
Faced hovering criminals, pleaded, wrote SMS, am spared!

Cthulu Lurks In the Evil Cabin In the Words

Cthulu lurks in the evil cabin in the words 

Deep in the bayous 
of Louisiana 
sits an abandoned cabin 
in the swamps

the cabin is inhabited 
by an ancient evil creature
newly risen from the depths 
of hell

He has taken over the house 
deep in the impenetrable swap
he prepares to unleash
an evil upon the world

 calling upon

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 holds me in captivity!
My heart wants their blood to fall

Evil Lurks

Evil lurks, not only in the shadows
It lurks in your soul
Splitting you 
Separating your whole being 
Pulling you limb from limb
But yeah, it’s just in your head
Don’t worry. It’s only on the inside
Wouldn’t want to burden anybody 
I’ll find a hobby
Distractions always work
If only for a short while,
There is bliss.

Premium MemberDarkness Lurks

Letting the rays of sunlight warm my face, I wondered how it would feel to be at the beach on a hot day. As I stare at the vivid pink hue of the sky, I close my eyes and let my mind drift to a kind of peace. The hours passed; everything around me was

The Grim Reaper Lurks

Looking out over the ocean
the Grim Reaper lurks,
he waits in the darkness
upon his face, is a smirk.

He holds his scythe
tightly in his right hand,
getting ready for another soul
'tis something he demands.

A castle stands in the distance
beneath the light of the moon,
the Grim Reaper knows
he'll have his souls soon.

The King and Queen are dying
it will be

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 now does pend

Trouble everywhere we contend
pushing we travel every path

Premium MemberWhat Lurks Within

Vestments of yesteryear
dotage's gone vague
zeitgeist's heart
wound up clock like
ticks laboriously
errands run through
veins seasonally
in the plumbing
till they 'fall'
ah, but that's 
the cultural attache' 
bound by render
on the wall
ghostly meandering
through the mist
the haze
the humidity
makes the window
fog up so that what
lurks within is obscure.

Premium MemberWhat Lurks Within

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 empty room
the only thing I see is a barricade of

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 to this cold room
Back to the window to watch
Scared of

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 to haunt and carry out the deeds
Unearth the weak and
