May you ever walk

A path that leads you nowhere

Death awaits each step

CURSE

• Affliction’s harsh grip,

Beset by life’s cruel torment,

Harrowed souls weep__soft.

~~

• Agonize in night,

Plagued thoughts besiege the weary,

Dawn’s light, a distant__hope.

~~

• Anguish whispers low,

Racked by unseen tortures,

Silent screams__echo.

~~

• Bedevil dreams fly,

Excruiting hearts lie broken,

Persecuted__peace.

~~

• Besieged by shadows,

Torment’s unyielding clasp tight,

Torture binds the__light.

May you be mildly

But constantly inconvenienced

Wherever you go.

So what do you think? I'm keeping with the overall horror tone here...

Nothing can be worse

In fact, it’s really a curse

Dragged out in a hearse

😂I suppose it might be subjective, not everyone sees dying as a curse. Still horror-themed enough for me though!

Some say there are no coincidences. I'm releasing two prose poems that I wrote this morning about a curse. Then I see this prompt. 😏

A virgin is best

This thirst for fresh blood, his curse

Fangs pierce tender flesh

I love a beastie eating a virgin.🖤

Wow what a prompt. The tentacles don't happened to be Uncle Cuthulus, I hope? Good one. I love it.

Blackened heart's slow beat,

Tar-like blood oozing through veins,

Regret the reject
