Many times in life's adventures we are conducted by our emotions creating a box around ourselves.
Dark and lingering shadows were given birth, they were and are very real to me. It's possible to
Be haunted by a dark grief, sadness, loneliness and pain. The following is a write of metaphors
My world was without light for the longest of time, my childhood and into my tortured teens
I would escape the living in abuse and witnessing the horrors put upon my mother and sister
Lending to the realization of a world filled with darkness and evil shadows at my every turn
The shadows are still with me to this very day...
TOGETHER FOREVERMORE
Time has stopped for the light and dark of us
Benediction has given way to sin's retreat
Fortune is a strip of wavered paper in the wind
Thin like a waft walking a runway haunted
Evil, wicked-liken in a breeze bearing its fangs
Cold is my heart blanketed with frost above
It's the shadows rising as black as the night sky
Down deep in the catacombs, cold and damp
Vermin run rampant in and out coffins and tombs
Gorging on the decayed remains put to rest
The air is foul with toxic vapors from rotted dead
Gases like a creeping fog spill over the edge
Of exposed coffins that encase decaying bodies
Crawling like a ravenous hunger that never ends
The atmosphere reeks of a stale and damp mold
Covering my tomb with laden deadly parasites
The bowels of hell have spoiled over its gates
Here I lie, encased in ancient stone and mortar
The catacombs are flooded with muck and slim
Floating with eyes open, engaging a dark nothing
My marbled vault was sealed with locking fear
I've been cursed for nearly five hundred years
Prone in silence for all time in this damn purgatory
Where I'll never know the sweetness of true death
My thoughts are of that one night when the earth
Will rock and shake and the mortar will crumble
Releasing me, for I have waited centuries to plan
My revenge that hungers for the river of life
My unbelievable mounting hunger will give me
The strength to claw my way out of this hell
The shadows of the night will become my friends
Together forevermore...
