Two Beast Are Coming
One of them blue, one of them red
Two beasts are coming
One of them blue, one of them red
Ferociously in the dark
Devouring innocence
Devil's blood
Coursing through their
Black veins
Demonic bodies moving
Under a moon
With no crescent
~
Two beasts are coming
One of them blue, one of them red
Fear my child
For these underworld
Creatures bring hell's wrath
Upon their backs
From the depths of Hades
They travel with a chorus
Of Gehenna's songbirds
A murder of black crows
Cawing omens
Of blood thirsty swine
~
Two beasts are coming
One of them blue, one of them red
Hounds under a horrid sky
Racing through a witch's hour
Gnashing jaws dripping
Fresh with crimson
Angry teeth grinding
Hungry with violence
Blood lust filling every chamber
Of their decaying hearts
Pray my children, for mercy
From what comes
This wicked night
~
Two beast are coming
One of them blue, one of them red
Run, don't look back
Keep to the shadows
Hide in the darkness
Away from the light
Catch your breath
Hold your panic
Race out before the fire
Of hell burns the steps
Behind you
~
Two beasts are coming
One of them blue, one of them red
Tremble with fright
When the fever of hellfire
Blows warm on your neck
Break the hushed silence
With a horrified scream
When the smell of burning sulfur
Rises from just behind you
Cry one last goodbye
Before their ravenous teeth
Sink deep into your flesh
~
Two beasts are coming
One of them blue, one of them red
Emerging from the dark
Hate spilling from their
Rancid Mouths
Deceit pouring from their
Diseased minds
Siren songs of hymns
From a netherworld choir
Calling out
From their rotten souls
Don't believe the lies they tell
My child
Don't believe the smiles they give
Dear lamb
~
Two beasts are coming
One of them blue, one of them red
With them comes
Death on a black horse
Behind them a band
Of hissing demons
Wait to be loosed
Upon the innocence
Of the land
~
Two of beasts are coming
One of them Blue, One of them Red

Excerpt II
excerpt 4/27/24 Have I told you that you are the warmest womb to ever have revived me? The doctors won’t listen. I visit her daily until I can’t anymore. She understands, tells me I’m the only one who makes her feel guarded, and I have never thought of guarded in the sense of secure, only closed. My dear friend lies still in her cotton consummation, destined to blight the waters with blood, and I fear I am the only one who knows how to help– Would you really stoop to such a rotten sense of delusion? On what pedestal must you stand to enlighten a child–

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

I didn't catch until the end that it was political! What a derrp I am. Brilliant piece, so urgent and tense 😁
I knew right away that you were talking about the American political parties, opposite sides of the same coin. Well done!
Whoa! This tale took me through a wild, mythical journey...and the end really hit me! Excellent job!!
Let me just say, I was not expecting that ending at all! I was impressed with the dark imagery, thinking this would be a good Halloween piece and then that twist at the end! Guess it's more a piece for next November rather than October. 😆
Granted, some beasts are more frightening than others. Others are simply more wearing & wearying.
Great, very true.
Whoaaaa! That twist! My jaw dropped to the floor! Here I was happily reading your poem (yes dark things make me happy) and then BAM, you hit me! Now when you put it that way, your poem just got sooooo deep! I loved this so much!
Will, I love this! Everything from the vivid imagery to the repetitive language to the flow of it. It felt like listening to telling of a legend, something that might be chanted by a narrative character before a dark scene in a movie. Kind of like in the live action Alice in Wonderland when Johnny Depp plays the mad hatter and recites the legend of the Jabberywocky. (I’ll find the clip for you) I felt like I could his voice narrating this poem and it felt eery and thrilling. I can see how this was geared towards a political struggle and the realness of that really hit hard when you added it in the authors note. A piece of me wanted it to be more fictional and I thought this could be a great opening scene to a story of war or about black magic. Clearly my brain went in a different direction than expected but the poem was so on pint! It was gripping and engaging, I love it! I think the is my favourite poem of yours!!!
So Mr. Invisible ~ 'Eye' See another side of you ~ You Beat the Beast outta me - Jay
Wow! Didn’t see that coming. With that said your descriptions were spot on. Excellent piece!
