Candlelight
by Jody PrattShadows fill the empty grave;
in the black cadavers maze.
Charcoal fogs whisper fear.
Haunting figures linger near.
Liquid smokes pan to and fro
like dancing gremlins in candles glow.
Hunched and crooked, twisted and tall;
Ghosts and mysteries embark the wall.
Dimly yellow, vaguely hue
in the jungle the wall doth skew.
Scarlet savages scorch a scene;
cloudy picture like a dream.
Hazy carnage blurs the mind,
tainted umbra; tangled vines.
Dusky mosaic of saffron and sand;
A twisted demons slithery hands.
Lost souls find peace in a chaos setting.
Silent screams of strangers venting.
The only life form in the vacuum;
a lonely candle lights the room.
