Dark Screamers
I hear them screaming in the dark
from everywhere and nowhere,
the best lines, already spoken
none written for mercies sake
Deposit thy fears atop desolation
for here it is gentle, a final kindness
considerate, vile, passing metaphor
an unlikely trespassed thought
Strike blindly, desperate, miles deep
unrelenting anguish, bestiary pain
charities only reward, moral allegory
lessons better left unlearned
Harbinger of hatred, thin voiced refrain
tiptoed, ethereal haunting stray
imprisoned forever, this daunting pain
how emboldened sorrows fray
I hear them, the dark screamers
from some once upon a place
woe to leave, a haunting burden
self contained, airy dead space....
