I’ll never forget the rain that day, It fell upon my crown and wound down between footprints trodden through grass. My head spun, heady with thoughts of you, Traces of that kiss laid upon my lips. Holding hands to the sky I wound my soul to the sky. All life had meaning as I walked … More Sinister Countdown- Tortorem
Hark now do you hear the wind whistle? Like crunching leaves and decaying thistle. Upon a lonely ridge lungs fill with air, Releasing course yammerings through fangs bare. Soon rises our symbol quite bold, Flush of blood upon faces bold. Writhing forms plead at the gate, Throw open bolts and laugh at fate Let fear … More Sinister Countdown- October Moon
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
Footsteps wander a lonely hall, Shuffling beneath a moon quite full. Curtains rustle as cold breeze ripples, Shifting gentle upon dusted ground. Shadows rise up between closed doors, And shriek in silence as the flash down. All the while footsteps wander, Passing onward in a forgotten round. Now you hear voices whispered, Murmur beyond locked … More Sinister Countdown- Midnight Walking
Wet this blade upon a stone so clear, That we may open this eve of unhallowed hours. With the spinning of this globe, Does yet another day fall before night.

Follow us down this pretty lane, With gentle leaves falling across a deeply hued sky. Leave your cares and worries behind As gravel crunches under foot. Let your sense wash away any lingering fear, And subdue the hairs in your neck standing on end. Be lulled into false scenes of safety, As we wait in … More Sinister Countdown- We Wait
Let me stand by this boarded window, Waiting for your to come. Between the dusty shadows, You promised I’d be free. Chains rustle with this beating restless heart, Chatting upon my wrists. But I still stand here, A phantom in the dark. Bound by words of life and love, That still linger in my breast. … More Sinister Countdown- Damned Love
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
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
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
