A poem by Lisa Collicutt
BLACK HEART
Shadowed realms are where I dwell,
deep in the dark abyss.
Loathsome creatures are
abound,
hear them scream and hiss.
Darkness follows where I go,
the dark moon guides my
flight.
My search for prey it never
ends,
embraced by cold dark night.
Heed the warnings, turn
around,
No wait, on second thought,
I stretch a boney finger out,
it catches on your soul.
Innocence embraced by
darkness,
feel it take its toll.
Once you're caught up in my
grasp,
a spell will drain your will.
Another soul drawn internal,
until I've had my fill.
Evil sizzles in my veins,
my soul is dark as pitch.
Inside my heart, you'll find
no warmth,
some call me a witch.

ReplyDeleteI love it. So dark! Was this another dream?
ReplyDeleteNot a dream - I wish.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I was having writer's block all day with new novel, and the suggestion of this poem just popped into my head. So, I gave up on the novel (temporarily) and wrote this.
I love it when inspiration strikes! :)
This was so spooky! LOVED it!
