Terror Poems - Poems about Terror

The possession of a mad man is the only terror
It started soft and slowly With only shallow things An itch or twitch or swallow But kindly not from me The walls would twist and turn at night And I’d be seeing things A pillow to hold a choir within And slowly simple things Would do more then make me mourn myself Do more then make me bleed My chest was heaving rocks and smoke Thrumming...

When Night Had No Mercy
When Night Had No Mercy I walked alone, dusk held the air, A fork ahead—school light there, And on the right, a shadowed wall, Where silence hummed the siren's call. Then feet—too many—closed around, A hand, too rough, too fast, no sound. My mouth was sealed, the sky went black, They dragged me down, no turning back. A van—its door, a waiting tomb, They flung...

Heavy
My terror grows with each passing night, As slow, steady darkness steals away sight. Footsteps and whispers add to my fright — Is there an end to such desperate plight? How long, too long, till dawn’s early light! I clutch my candle in trembling hand, And watch the shadows dance to understand What I envision as its light expands Through the room and...

A Night of '89
A Night of '89 Footsteps at midnight the knock no one dared answer. Dogs howled in silence. Charred Bodies on the road, eyes still open to the sky. The crows never ask. Posters on the wall by morning, the faces fade. Smoke curls from tire pyres . Mother lights a lamp. Her son's shoes still by the door. She dares not whisper. Gunfire in the dusk, then a scream...

There’s a lot of strange things going on in our world and our governments keep many of these sinister goings on under wraps. Quote by poet. At the edge of our town was a heavily guarded building, and was rumoured that it was an offshoot of area 51, You could easily drive past it because it was surrounded...

Snow falls silently here On Pahalgam's mourning hills Pure crystal white turned red White flakes bear witness to loss Each one holds a mother's tear Snow remembers all Innocent faces frozen In time's bitter glass Terror's footprints disappear Yet snow preserves the sorrow Through snow-capped...

Dot Dot Dot
What do you do when your head feels like a million pounds, your chest is buried underground, where worms and slugs and filth abound, and rocks compound overhead, compounding a heaviness which even the heaviest cannot heave. Where mere moments make a millennia of torment - For sleepless nights make endless days and endless days make immortality - And mine is underground Far Far Underground Where hell itself...

You'd Never Know
You'd never know Surely no one could tell I almost took my life ten months ago From the flames inside that burned a living hell Where demons dwell and angels ache to break free from below It mustn't show, the absent soul hidden within a counterfeit shell...

The Night They Came
We were five in the room, Mama whispered her last prayer before bed, the fan turned slowly, tired like the rest of us. It was just another night stars above, silence below. Then the silence cracked open like a curse. They came with shadows wrapped around them, faces hidden, but eyes burning red. No one spoke. Only machetes did. And they had a lot to...

Flickering Ember
How did the sea become a crime? How did its blue become a bruise on the face of history? How did the verdure turn into red wrath, breathing fire into burned hearts, leaving behind it a black, frosty funeral? How did the tree become a Fury? Her strands of fire strewn above the dew and tranquil mounts Furious fire and melted iron Lava and...

Premium Member The Age of Terror
(“Utopia and Terror Merit Badge”, 2010, original oil) The Age of Terror It’s a new reign of terror With demon hit squads roaming the earth To lurk on roof tops, hedges And parking lots for their attack While cowardly anonymous callers SWAT The unsuspecting next in line. All the time the voice boxes With their silent protest paddles And bullhorns call for mayhem...

The government is no longer farcical Most intelligent ones have ceased laughing Mein Kampf is in the rulebook now Our new dictators have it down pat Censor anything they do not believe or advocate Jail or kill those who protest Control the media Target a specific group Be ruthless in pursuit Intimidating and bullying; forcing their will on the rest of us There will soon...
