I am cold upon this floor,
in the spot I lie.
embers – out
blizzard – strong
I lift a gentle sigh,
breath white in front of me.
The snow – all around.
Entombed
Peace I finally see.

Fear Filled Fridays (2/16/2018): Entombed Part 3
Yum, I say,
as this rat chews soft.
Yum, I say,
while sitting in my loft.
Damn, I say,
as the days drift long.
Damn, I say,
it’s all gone wrong.

Fear Filled Fridays (2/9/2018): Entombed Part 2
Embers almost cold,
my will is weak,
food – gone
I start to seek.
Any type of food,
anything to turn,
away this hunger mood,
anything, please, I yearn.

Fear Filled Fridays (2/2/2018): Entombed Part 1
Watching the snow fall,
chilling my desire,
waiting on a sign of hope,
dying embers in the fire.
Trapped like a beast,
within the blizzard of snow,
food – scarce
my bones begin to show.

Fear Filled Fridays (1/26/2018): The Lamp
Haunted?
Cursed.
Trapped?
Inside.
∞
The lamp – the object,
is cursed.
We’ve seen it turn on.
Hidden in the attic.
Sitting all alone.
No current, no electricity.
Does the spirit linger?
In objects,
once the body passes on.
Forever – eternal.
Never truly gone.
Do objects have a special place?
Some residual energy.
Do objects hold the key?
To all the spirits you hear and see.

Fear Filled Fridays (1/19/2018): Vampire/Eternal
Victim’s will be taken,
with the piercing of a bite.
Warm soft blood,
eternal living from dying light.

Fear Filled Fridays (1/12/2018): Haunted
Hear the eerie wind whistle, across the cold dark night,
see the unknown figure, float into sight.
Slowly it drifts, pale and transparent.
It stops and looks at me.
I look at it.
Its eyes are not there, only sockets full of despair.
A smile rises across its face,
the grin is pure evil and full of pain,
it raises an arm and points to the right,
towards the graveyard just out of sight.
I freeze at the window and shake at the knees.
A cold sweat creeps down my back, just like I’m under attack.
I scream at the top of my lungs, “Go away leave me alone!”
It drops its arm and dissolves with a cold chilly laugh.
