There Is No Love

Shadows lingering

nights are long and empty

terror is like a rusty whisper

always there - lurking

like a bad nightmare

spiders on the wall

hear their scratching as they crawl

there is no one to save me from the spiders hunting

their webs appear

cobwebs

sticky and dusty

the nights unfold endlessly

until there is no day anymore

beetles and moths

flutter against my window

where there is no light

I don't understand

but Death does

She wears a seductive grin

her long nailed finger points

but I don't go

I damn all the spiders, beetles and moths

I damn Death

even though I know there is no escaping

the unending night

the unrelenting darkness

haunting within me

causing my mind to bleed

black blood

yes, there is no love

Powerful and good words in the poem'.
"I damn all the spiders, beetles and moths
I damn Death
even though I know there is no escaping
the unending night"
The above lines are true. Better to escape death till our time and find some peace and joy. Good flow of thoughts led to the very good ending.

You are welcome.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A very cold and uncaring world of hurting and hating others for personal gain.
Not even ind death is there any peace. Outstanding horror poem.

[Coyote Song]

Very dark and chilling. This gave me delicious creeps.
Well written with outstanding dark and horrifying imagery.

Dark and disturbing poem. Awesome job on crafting this dark hopeless tale.
Love the imagery, the whole thing rings true on an emotional level.

Very dark and terrifying. A horrifying tale you spin here. It has all my hair standing on end and I heard that scream in my head echoing. Horror, wonderfully dark horror!
