I walked with my shadow
we talked long of things
where creatures walk
in the nights realm

where  darkness burst
a fractured seam
and endless pain
begets endless screams

Perhaps it was a nightmare
Perhaps it was a dream
But i do remember
Because it happened to me

We passed the fields
where ghouls would feast
saw the nightmare
of the slavering beast

Felt the flame of pain descend
felt the light of life that ends
We talked and talked into the blood moon
of death and glory mankinds boon

I remember this but i did not wake
were walking still into the ghost of a lake...

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

Very creepy (just the way I like it)
The ending brought a smile to my face,
Thanx- great piece
Kisses,

This was great!  Well done indeed, and yes your ending was terrific.

       
A smile costs nothing but makes someone rich.
