Chaos Rain

another Halloween fright

It started one night

when a full moon deigned

to erupt  pale light

and begin the chaos reign.

Men were taken by the score

women left behind to scream

their return through hell's door

brought back the evil's dream.

some who died did not decay

but ruled behind the laugh.

those that lived fell that day

shivering in the sun's draft.

Hell's gates opened wide

and spilled the insane

dead alive on the tide

a lovely chaos rain.

Hope turned inside

to burn our hearts

while we all cried

at the demons' arts.

alive is now dead

and the dead now rule.

hunger is our bread

thirst only a fool.

Laugh when they cry

replace love with pain

wishing to die

to be the chaos rain.

Demons tear us apart

to make us whole again

In the darkness we start

to feel the chaos rain.

In once lovers, now dead

we sense what was light

now hate we are fed

goodness our blight.

Amazing write...had a dark unsettling quality to it with a great flow.

This is my favorite stanza. It almost feels like a fight with the demons that dwell inside all of us, startling and really unsettling imagery. I don't yet know what your other poems dwell on but this gave me chills. A perfectly dark poem with amazing imagery and a great flow. I love it!!

I don't like Halloween, I’m too much of a 'chicken' for all the scary stories and what not. I thought you wrote this well, as always, and while it's not my cup of tea...I can appreciate it :)

Hi Mark, a dark and foreboding account of the underworld we fear deep in our souls. 'Men were taken by the score, women left behind to scream' describes the helplessness we feel when such things are seemingly beyond our control.
