Muted Cries
I feel the darkness
creep behind me,
rattling chains
and closing gates.
Prisoner trapped
in own soul,
skin shriveled
in ruined shrouds,
trembling hands
reaching out
in muted cries
of dread.
Falling into
empty space,
broken and misplaced,
invisible figures blowing
in frozen wind of past.
Devil’s spawn dancing,
icy fingers grasping,
screaming minds
of ebony asylums.
Lying mirrors
reflecting graves
with two bodies.
Crawling toward
light, alone,
baleful howls
of invisible wolves.
Hate radiating
in the distance.
Deceiving shadows
escaping to the place
where life begins.
