From the deep pit


They have no names
Their flesh is putrid
Who knows what now flows though their veins

They circle round
With such ghost like moves
And drag around their heavy chains

They howl at us
Eyes now empty stare
Tangled hair from their foetid manes

What ghosts are these?
Granite looks spell fear
I think they've emerged from the drains

Such sinful deeds
That have been tabled
Emerge now to weigh upon their brains

  1. Yikes! What a creepy mood you've managed to evoke with your words here. And the photo you chose is a perfect fit. Someone better put the cover back on that drain....quickly!!!
