The Disturbed and The Absurd

Dark little poem.

By Paul StewartPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Careful as you slumber, the horror and the wonder

Leaves you crippled, your sheets pull you under

Can you hear Death darkening at your front door

Taunting like the lusty lilliths of lore

In the realm of the disturbed and the absurd

Lines between fantasy and reality are blurred

In the hall of the depraved and the enslaved

Lines between insanity and sanity are blurred
