Morbidly Weird

I had a hallucination. 

The type that you have in your sleep. 

It was purely about terror. 

Where your skin crawls and it creeps. 

I was a man called "Evil Apple" 

And I killed people for free. 

I would kill them with my laughter. 

Blood that poured merely from glee. 

My image was of darkness. 

A pale face, green hair that would spring. 

And I looked like "The Joker of Angels". 

Black wings and eyes dark green. 

So.... 

I stood in the middle of a park 

Where families congregated in peace 

And I chuckled a small laughter 

That brought the "Evil Spirit Beast". 

You see.. When I expel laughter. 

Animals of fear, attack each soul. 

Bringing terror to the mind. 

Stealing all emotional control. 

So each mind became chaotic. 

And the end became conclusive. 

They drowned their bodies in the river. 

And hands became infinitely abusive. 

And when my mind saw the terror, 

And the beast driving people mad. 

I was overjoyed by my machinations, 

But then a "Small Girl" became sad. 

She looked at me with sadness, 

For I was her greatest fear. 

As my laughter grew much stronger, 

Her father's image became clear. 

I could see his total madness, 

For what I was doing to his child. 

The disturbance of his children, 

Is the phobia he most reviled. 

So then my hallucination, 

Came to the end of its show. 

When the father became a "Dove of Light", 

And disappeared me with his glow. 

And when I became awake, 

I knew that I had learned my true fear. 

My mind is my greatest phobia, 

I have dreams that are "Morbidly Weird".

There are shades in this poem about the borderline mania that resides in each of us or at least in our deeper consciousness. The darkness that you portray is a true reflection of the sub consciousness trying to repent for some misdeed in the past and haunting you in the process..It could even be a psychotic breakdown down the road.
The human mind is the most complex place on Earth and this is a bit of un-Earthing it..Well written in terms of the inner layers through your evident horror picture images..Good Work!! and like the touch of black humor too

Very cool

[Chris]

The first poem of its kind that I've read on this site. The black humor tied with heavily descriptive words, all intwined with a fluid rhyme scheme and strong ending makes this one great piece.

I enjoyed reading this.
