Slowly,

as the veil lifts,

and you see me now,

for what I am,

the beast,

the demon,

the bastard son of this world,

I ask you not to be scared,

for you should rejoice,

for when I take you,

you and your sin,

it’ll be forever,

it’ll be to the end,

I’ll never leave you,

and you’ll never leave me,

so close your eyes my child,

for it’s time t.. What, are you crying?

can it be true,

after all the words I’ve said,

you still fear me?

    1. Thanks so much, they are fleeting thoughts of madness given form, and, to be honest, I’ve enjoyed doing them. I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍

  3. I like your style, Matthew. I’ve never tried poetry/sonnets/whatever you call this. Very interesting and transmits feeling well.

    1. Thanks, I’ve never been one to play with them either, but I had this insane idea of trying to do something different, to push feelings while working through a large, overly volatile story, out, and, it’s been fun. I guess you don’t really know what you can do, until you try. Thanks again.

      1. you’re right. I started writing in 2009 and told no-one until I thought it was working. I believe my days are worth it if I learn something new or try something new every day. When I get the chance I will give ‘poetry’ a chance & run it by you 🙂 It may be filled with screams!

      2. The deepest, darkest places are where the most wonderful things happen. I’ve been enjoying your zombies stories, so, I’d really like to see what you could throw together in the form of a poem, we can call them, specks of madness from within, if you like 🙂

      4. Having a go, that’s what really counts, knocking one out of the park is a bonus 👍

      5. How about this:
        The boy stood on the burning deck
        Picking his nose like mad
        He rolled it up in little balls
        And flicked it at his dad.
