Unleashed Demons

Reaching past dust
cobwebs and such
bringing to light
a darkness like puss

This gurgling evil
reaching the night
darkness is merging
blood thins with fright

Purple the hue
smearing the sky
blooding the moon
as evening cries

Gripping the stars
this misery held
rustling nasty
A new reigned hell

Wraiths of demons
flow from sight
marking their way
in crimson delight

Howling Hell-hounds
raging through scrub
growls of hunger
fake calls of love

Leaping through trees
shadow reapers appear
raking their talons
in whatever lay near

Shutting this rage
that claws into mind
locking this evil
from staining mankind

Jayne Powerful images shadows of the night appear. They are my constant company these days. Dark yet crimson my heart bleeds. The tall dark reaper is just out of reach. But i know he is there in the shadows just waiting for me. On many occasions I have begged for him to take me on that ride. I cross his palm with silver but so far denied. When I looked at the moon tonight so bright it glowed with halo surround. So clear yet so cold it seem to be when i know he looks at the same moon as me. Why cannot I write great words as these? Electric blue so blue maggie

Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!

I truly enjoyed this read. I loved the waves in this poem and still keep its potency. I thoroughly enjoyed it I had to read it twice. You wrote how I feel. I do wish I could xpress my feelings as well as you do. Maybe someday I will. I read poems from the best and learn alot from my senior poets. The one's that have been writing much longer than I. I had to give this one a 5 star! Take care my friend and I'll be around. Thank you for the poem. I needed to read that!! Friends, Pixee

Sometimes my poems are not so pretty and this is one of those times i find it balances each other out , you cannot write one way too long or it gets stale I often jump around with what I am writing this one was just another one of my moon madness poems lol ... much love and hugz Jayne x x "We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.
