#5 on the Never Ending List

Can you feel

my breath

my wishes

upon the nape of your neck?

Following

sidling through shadows

close upon your mark

glance around

right

left

hear that giggle?

Soft

crazy

welling from darkness

run dear daddy run

here comes little Susie

is that a knife or a gun?

Who knows what weapons will be employed.

Crafting upon skin

signs

sigils

keep the evil in

let the innocence out

death follows so close

no longer bothering to be quiet

swallowing the sudden shriek

stepping back from crimson arc

watching body fall

another one saved

time to walk away.

#4 on the Never Ending List

Razor thin

drive the wire

beneath skin

pocked with marks

made by needles

bent not to beautify

not to color

to destroy

to cause pain

to bore through

releasing the pent up evil

within

creating the monster you became.

Face cowl’d

seeing eyes

searing red

burning deep within

nightmare being

taking up whole vision

while you writhe

mouth agape

to no avail.

Tongue removed

guttural groans

moans

symphony upon my ears

grinning

spinning with delight

as death nears.

Left…..

ready to be found…..

Call made

so truth can be seen

truth can be found

truth will be known…..

Harm the child

behind you should look

for upon the wind rides

Reaper of Souls

Harridan of Nightmares

come I will

find I shall

death will not be easy.
