Sinister Countdown- Just Go

October 31, 2020

Wait for me right at the gate, Where freedom lies within our grasp. We’ve waded through this sinking chamber, And found hidden relics and stories unknown. Their stories wait to be retold, With our thriving world above. Our future lies right at the gate, Glowing with an energy long foretold. Yet I must go a … More Sinister Countdown- Just Go

Sinister Countdown- At The End

October 31, 2020

I sit beneath a moon too full, With though that chew upon my conscious. The darkness scuffles with rat claws, Scuttling along these images unbidden. I lay upon a bed once comfortable, Paralyzed by the shinning face beyond a window. Watching as a faceless form presses in, Through curtains so thin. Voices whisper in the … More Sinister Countdown- At The End

Sinister Countdown – Shadow Spinners

October 31, 2020

Trust not the glowing stair, You are followed by three shadows. Close not your eyes or they will find you, The servants of a grinning shade. You must run far from places known, And trust not what you see with your own eyes. They search through mirrors and reflecting places, And pass between in the … More Sinister Countdown – Shadow Spinners

Sinister Countdown-Haunted House

October 31, 2020

Floorboards creak under a waiting foot, Dust floats between slatted windows. In the twilight vines twist and dry, Hold tight to rotting eves. Let chains rattle upon stairs so steep, And eyes widen in a vain search for hope. As foundations settle, So too do hidden tombs shift and awaken. As walls breathe with secrets … More Sinister Countdown-Haunted House

Sinister Countdown- As the Light Fades

October 31, 2020

Quickly, as the light fades, Run with me to the wall, We must not be found, Within these places, Outside our beloved wall, The darkness steels along each shoreline, Swallowing all within its path, Transforming beauty into decaying wildness, And we will be caught within unyielding hands, Think not of how these foolish tales, Could … More Sinister Countdown- As the Light Fades

Sinister Countdown- Witch of a Heart Tree

October 31, 2020

They seek beyond their short sighted seer, Upon a forest across the moor, Where none dare show a shining cross, Or glittering emblem of what they find pure. They’ve left the path of enlightened souls, To wander biways unclean, For flesh is pierced, And blood flows out unstopped by prayers uttered in fear. Now the … More Sinister Countdown- Witch of a Heart Tree

Sinister Countdown- Buried Alive

October 31, 2020

Please please someone come help! I’ve been screaming for ever a long time. This darkness is unnerving, And the walls are so close. I cannot move For I am positioned just so. I tried to ring bells and scream up a chimney, But there is no where I can turn. I’ve scratched all four walls … More Sinister Countdown- Buried Alive

Sinister Countdown- Why Remember

October 31, 2020

I wish I could remember, The feeling of rain upon my skin and brow. Or a cool breeze wrapping around my body, As gooseflesh ran up and now my arms. Yes I wish I were still living, Looking down upon this crumbling stone. Perhaps I’d walk away and find my family, Tucking in to their … More Sinister Countdown- Why Remember

Sinister Countdown- Forever Day

October 31, 2020

Hide me in this forever day, Folded away in these memories of gold. I am pursued by hunting creature, Much more than an earthly predator. It’s smells my mortal flesh so sweating, But also hears my thoughts of woe. I’m afraid it’s too late for this ending to come, But I must hold out against … More Sinister Countdown- Forever Day

Sinister Countdown- Locked Up Secrets

October 31, 2020

So often had Sally wondered, Upon the trunk beneath the tree. Too afraid to ask her grandmother, What treasures laid nestled deep within. It had sat there for weeks and weeks, Collecting dirt, water, and her attention. Both night and day with silver lines gleaming, It made young Sally’s mind run reeling. So she had … More Sinister Countdown- Locked Up Secrets
