I feel the sound bump
bump it goes in the night
night so bleak and black
black as my dark heart beats
beats me as I retreat run
run away from the one
the one that only I can see
see it lick its black lips
lips peeling back reveal
reveal a cold steel smile
smile as it pierces skin
skin ripping clean from bone
bones break I am consumed
consumed by the one who knows
knows secret debts are owed.

Toads are writing Loop Poetry today. This turned out a little dark but ....
Yikes on the ending, secrets debts are owed ~ Can only imagine what happens if one is unable to pay them back ~
ReplyDeleteLiking the darker looping verses ~ Thanks for linking up to Real Toads ~
Happy Thanksgiving ~
Eek! This got creepier by the line! I agree with Grace-that ending sent shivers up my spine!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is powerful, Sam. Especially the black lips and the cold steel smile. Wowzers!
ReplyDeleteSam I felt like we just ran a scary a thon!
ReplyDeleteDamn good!
The secret debts that we dare not acknowledge, even to ourselves.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Sam.
