Darkness of the Mind

Somewhat Horror but not really.

The castle lay dormant the master still up late

The moon hidden behind the clouds in such a state

the wolves abnormally quiet not a howl to be heard

Darkness cast on the land waiting for something to be lured

The master peers into the darkness listening to the silence

Suddenly a yelp of a wolf then the sounds of violence

Growls and yelps and eventually silence yet again

In the distance there is nothing but then

the dull cracking of bones and the knocks of fangs on flesh

The master morbidly curious and his chest depressed

Holds in his breathe and catches the scent

Blood, marrow, and sinew he catches and then it is spent

raving wild beasts from within the depths of his mind

they ravage the country at least that what he sees, that kind 

of monstrosity that caused this disturbance 

surely that belongs in a circus 

He scoffs at the notion and gives his back to the darkness

As soon as his motion is completed he is mated in chess

The shining claws he pictured have slipped into his room

The master is gone without a yell the silence restored the murder has bloomed

Author's Note

Sorry about lack of punctuation and if some lines are cringe worthy.

It gives you a hint of darkness and horror but then it changes.....love the use of words like "peers into the darkness" & "holds his breathe and catches the scent"
