Up From Hell

•

dark laid and down with drum-thrummed head
steep-steers the black nocturnal nest
perversely born fantazury
fresh hatch this night’s menagerie

scream-bringing hoard of twisted truth
zoom-zooming in this blue-black world
called forth to gorge in ghastly feast
they stir then roust to gore the beast

distressing visions overflow
stabbing with a brain-jolt pierce
disgusting curiosities
brute-flung to hideousity

jerk and lunge these soul-cleaved demons
death scratch-scratching through doomsday’s door
perverted serendipity
they swarm in horrorifity

flaying bone-toed my synapses
hell’s fleshless hounds devour my peace
mind-ghouls shake and shiver me
merciful morne, deliver me

The artwork at the top is entitled: “The Nightmare”. It is a disturbing image. Look into its center and you will see the wicked and hideous scream-bringing hoard coming quickly, zoom-zooming up out of the blue-black bowels of hell. The style is abstract-fantasy.

    Damn! Nice job on this. I love your use of words and rhyme scheme here. Evokes visions of Poe. My fiance read this and agrees.
