" A Pall Hangs"

* entered in Atakti's comp Dark Beginnings  
 
 
crushed hearts instilled  
 embracing surrender  
it's whatever he wills  
 falling faces remembered  
portal to the other world  
 lovers cry in nightmarish waves  
shadows of souls hurled  
 of too late a denial to pray  
in not knowing him, death's hold  
 grips to torment ferociously  
hope and light, unlit bores blunt cold  
 beware, your fear is his voracious need  
ominous dread, anguished silence felt  
 ambience of the sorrowful dead feed compelled  
 
buried, sinister he still knows  
 part of him has seeped in  
finished spastic throes  
 virulent plague pervades  
chasm of fear grows  
 self-perception deceives  
pieces of pain demand  
 hell of his deception weaves
it's whomever his hand..  
wishes in evil's greed  
 time slides to eternity  
hanging warning sways  
 death.. but a road to infinity  
murder of crow caw decay  
 crucify the pall that looms over me  
 
shut windows hide their demise  
 bemoan the shunted ghost who hear the living  
silhouettes move broken fades shy  
 noises in the night, something unseen within.. giving  
blurred forms hover in a blink, howls shriek and cry  
 they seek redemption of their murder that mourns  
horrors befall the dying left, dreaded visuals flash  
 apparitions wail their loss, halls echo hooves.. stalking  
knocking doors, with no one there, from thick air.. a laugh  
 dank cellars too dark, attics thump and roofs talk..  
in tongues, foul odors waft.. something summoned black  
 maleficence breathes unclean, unholy is this realm obscene  
murmurs of hatred to the living in fear, vile is all whom reside here
