Apocalypse

Ghoulies ghosties zombies creep
On full moon nights
Lecherous shadows leap

A hint of foul in the breeze
So fair
The graves yawning up
Putrid rush of musty air.

Ripe rotten smells
Hang heavy on the multi verse
No running away
You're the blip on the radar
Of their intergalactic curse.

Pulsating nights
Supernova streaks
Frenzied gnashing of fangs
Chalk white
Pockmarked
The Grim Reaper
Reaps.

Innocent blood washes up
On foamy brine
Ruby splashes
Under Goth moonshine.

Sloth Feet tottering
Numb Hearts battering
Dead Souls shattering
Exposed nerves on fire.
They've lit the Deadwood
Of a Cosmic pyre.

Endless doom
No escape
Thriller night,
Forevermore,
Doppler shifting
Uncertain shapes.

Ghoulies ghosties zombies loom
Shadowing towering walls
Erasing the light of reason
In sanity's room.
