Poem -
Exorcist
Lingering macabre in darkness festers,
Unseen entities, oppression of jesters.
Creaking of floorboards, whispers are near,
Break down and suffering, reduced to tears.
Reflections smile all the while lured in,
Malice in eyes and sinister grin.
Limbs lost to a mysterious puppeteer,
Breath gives out, consumed by fears.
Menace of the shadows screeching strange calls,
Hanging upside down, climbing the walls.
Hisses and growls, possessed to attain,
Cause pain to others where others would refrain.
Its attention distracted, swoops to the floor,
A man in all black awaits behind the door.
White collar, bible, he leans on his staff,
He’s arrived to diminish and silence its laugh.
