Lair
The darkness descends on the forest up yonder Nothing moves or stirs A silence falls quickly and unnoticed over the canopy An eerie hush now rules A man and his dog stop and listen Turn tail and run For stories abound of the wood And what resides there A story as old as time of […]
Snatched
April 30, 2013
And the lullaby is sung as the moon low is hung Ghostly white and floating low its view obscured by evil below The child softly sung to sleep as the crow guards its precious keep Whilst night-things slither and crawl in the darkness they do rule The crow waits for one who tonight will have […]
The Twisted Tree
April 23, 2013
The twisted tree it turns in the wind Twists and claws at all in its wake Long bony fingers reach for something Anything You Asleep in your bed you suddenly awake Fearful Scared For you’re sure you’re being watched From outside by something Something ancient Old as time Scraping at the window Shadows play on […]
Meet Me Down The Crossroads
April 18, 2013
*My homage to the Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil and the Blues legend that is Robert Johnson, a musical hero of mine. Hello my dears, you know my name for many centuries we’ve played the game And danced the dance where I offer you all your desires there’s no need to turn or twist […]
The Mist
April 16, 2013
The mist creeps up over the canal covering the narrow-boats, wildlife as well It slowly moves, gathering pace growing in size, it gives chase Its greedy mouth swallows whole anything in its path it takes hold Cold tendrils clasp all in its wake its hunger ravenous in all it takes People swallowed up, gone from […]
March Hare
March 26, 2013
March Hare, March Hare bouncing around Where is it that you abound? March Hare, March Hare your madness drips through A rambling mind long did you lose March Hare, March Hare you hop away Mumbling and bumbling strange words you say March Hare, March Hare let me play Into your mad world I wish to […]
Tap, Tap, Tap
March 26, 2013
The boy he goes to bed On a dark October night Tries blocking voices in his head He doesn’t wanna see scary sights The girl has been told a story By her dad of ghosts It was so very scary The tap, tap, tap scared her the most They both dive under the sheets This […]
Fallen Angel/Angel No More
March 21, 2013
Oh sweet fall cushion thee with feathers As I crash to the Earth from the sky I’m now severed Cut away forever this wingless fall No more I hear heaven’s call Angel no more alas, no more…
Something This Way Comes…
March 7, 2013
The moon it rises high above the night sky Across the land the lights twinkle bright In the distance a howl, Something stifles a cry Something this way comes this dark cold night Doors are bolted, windows shut tight To keep out an evil all have always feared A noise here, a screech there on […]
The Dollmaker
February 12, 2013
I thought I’d try my hand at a fairytale in poem form inspired by a nightmare I had in part and the stories of the Brothers Grimm, Poe, M.R. James and Lovecraft and others of the genre. It freaked me out writing it so I hope it does the same for you! Happy nightmares and […]
