The Night is Calling
Born 1976, M, from Whitechapel, AustraliaThe night is calling,
Its back is arched,
Its tongue is wet,
Its lips stay parched
The night is mewling,
The air is sweet,
Green and thick,
Soon fouled by meat
The night is wailing,
Rise from your bed,
Cut through the mist,
And greet The Dead
The night is fuming,
Its patience: thin,
It sucks your bones,
And slurps your skin
The night is ending,
It's had its fill,
Retreating quickly,
Til’ next blood-spill.

10/12/2021Jason,
I have no words. This may be the best written Horror Poem I have ever read. Each stanza was dripping with evin innuendo. The pictures you painted made the hunger palatable...and real. I am, simply, in awe. What a mind you have cultivated. I thought your short stories were excellent...so what word about your poetry would serve to elevate it to the pedestal upon which it deserves to be displayed?
I can't come up with that word...but it is North of Magnificent!
Smiles, Kevin
