Damned |
Christine DeLong Miller |
ndead souls lie in their semblance of sleep.
In dark, dank tombs they sequester.
Lost to all but their kind, they weep
In the gloom and the murk where they fester.
When the blood red sun bows down to the night,
In the hush of dusk, they awake.
Hunger upon them like a blight,
They fly into the night, a cast of wraiths.
In heated rage
of lust, the undead feed,
Tears of blood
raining down with the pain.
Quenching thirst
they are forced to heed,
Crying out into
the darkness in vain.
