Short Dark Horror Poems

A gang of aggressive orcs
in any government works.

Blood,
a stew filled with body parts;
Head on a platter;
Subtly 
mixed....

Callous in the dark
this psycho drips blood in thrill
killing in the shadows...

Two worlds veiled in one,
Dancing, Seething cauldron,
Alley, fraught with thorns....

A cadaver’s revenge, bleeds eyes at every clench,
A forever nightmare, hunting souls everywhere....

Dark horror advances with what corrupts
Evil comes to take souls
Beautifully painful

In a see through gown
she floats in the air
At the foot of my bed
she gave a cold stare
I feel dread
Could not move
could not scream
This is not a dream...

The sea,
It raged,
It raged,
It raged,
As it pummelled
The lonely shore,
As if to say;
Dare to enter,
Dare to enter,
Dare to enter,
And you’ll see dry land -
No more …...

they bite
and tear the biters do
these unseen nighters
circling
for should you sleep
give unto thee
then wake
to find their wound
   on you
then wake
to find their wound

There once was a man from Pennsylvania
Who checked out the night life in Transylvania
He met a girl one night
Who took him out for a bite
Ya know, a night out with Vampira will drain ya!...

with unconsoled cries
weeping and gnashing their teeth ~
their worm never dies

My worst nightmare sat down beside me 
With the most angelic face 
And whispered things too hard to swallow
His smile sweetening the taste 
“All that’s wicked has the upper hand 
“All that’s pure has gone to waste.”...

I like it when the Sun goes down,

I like it when it's dark,

I have two pointy fangs you see,

And I like to leave my mark.

Every child knows the moon has a face 
that looks down kindly on the human race.
But can anyone ever calm the screams 
of the frightened child who constantly dreams
of the demon face that's never shewn 
on the dark side of that self-same moon?...

Loyal, docile, obedient dog
Why did you leave me all alone?
Now I'm a sheep with red wool,
And maybe it's your fault.
Fumbling sheep calls your name in the dark,
Not the one beside you.
Only the sheep with red wool
Wants to be there with you.

Hells tree where I hang
A round sack colour black
Inside little black Knots woven along ropes of black
Of all my sins that need paying to clear my rent
All would be paid to clear but prayer is also needed.
I am of age to face my debt.
With a glimmer of hope.

Invader of flesh, bone, and blood
                  Rudely invites itself in
To wreak harrowing havoc.
                  No ringing of doorbell;
Not so much as a knock -
                 Cancer

A place between dreams, of sentiments to quell.
Fragments of silence, pierce the living hell.
Lost are those who know, the cold and dark of time.
True substance of horror, cruel emptiness to hide.
Leave me sorrow now, go calmly from despair.
Slowly into daylight, quiet with out fear...

Through the jungles of sick suburbia 
He lustfully stalked his prey.
She was only young, a child of just ten
That he took and brutally feasted on.
Savage desires within compelled him
To befriend the pretty Grace;
She so died by his hand, cannibalistic
Urges he boasted were his thrill....

MOON LUST

Deformation of a stained moon,
(Lovers look at that far away man)

And his buttons pop pride full.
(Goose bumps appear as a wolf howls)

Spilled tears as the moon shuts its eyes,
Transforms into a fearful crescent.

The gigantic wolf sleeps in lover’s arms
For lust of spicier morsels after battle....

Petrifying prediction proffered.
Abhorrent abominations
and shapeless shadows stalk streets.
Perpetually pitch
as Luna's light lapsed.
Prostrate and pray:
Stygian
nightmare
roused.

Away the seconds tick,
inside my head I hear the click.
The roar, the blast, the crazy sounds,
the sirens equipped with snarling hounds.
The words, the screams the hollering dead,
all the voices in my head.
With the fall I fell the breeze
death to avoid their wretched tease.
With the jump, the slip, the fall,
only one tear shed from them all....

My hand holds the knife
As it hovers in the air
Awaiting to massacre the dead.

Every cut precise
And meticulously planned
No matter the bloody mess.

Pieces of flesh fill the air.
Some discarded as waste.
Some saved for taste.

Split open bones with
Nerves exposed as I
Finish my task at hand.

Clean up the blood
And prepare the salad
For our fresh chicken dinner....

They have been here for thousands of years,
 walking among us in our fears.
Creatures of blood with power and might,
 they come in the dark, they come in the night.
Eyes that look into your soul, 
you feel the power, they take control.
Your body rises as you bleed,
 their blood lust uncontrolled as they feed.
The spirit taken from this life,
 to join the children of the night.
