Shadows Lurk

In dankest corners danger lurks,
unseen to human eye
hide creatures from the realms of hell
where none can ever die.

For demons of the lowest plain
cannot a body wear
for they’re destined to feed the pit
with those lost to despair.

These devils lurking all around
seek food for torment’s fire,
there’s no escaping if they smell
a soul they can acquire

They drain the essence of your life
if you approach their lair,
the only warning you may get
is prickling of your hair.

By then I fear it is too late
incarcerating souls
they drag them screaming through the gates
that lead to Satan’s holes.

So tread in fear when pathways feel
uneasy, not quite right,
for all is lost when being stalked
by shadows of the night.

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Shadows to Light
Once I knew those divils,
the ones that drag you down;
I knew right and I did wrong,
this soul was downward bound.

But now I know there is a word
that devils hate to hear,
for when I call upon His name
they all just disappear.

Evil's Lair
Personal demons, it is true
can be removed by only you.
The crutch you need may be God's name,
but you're the one who wins this games.

But I speak of a different kind
from depths of hell is where they find
the evil that is born of fiends
believe, they're real, and not just dreams.

No name called out from frightened lip
will stop these monsters as they rip
at souls of all who unaware
go stumbling into evil's lair.

Take heed, believe that evil's real,
learn to know its taste and feel
and when you sense it in the air
make damn sure that you're not there!

Evils
I think I know the ones you mean
and with you I agree;
It's best to stay away from these
if you want to stay free.

Shadows
We fight them off with smiles and laughter, and by looking them in the face. Thats what this poem does for us: sheds light, and beautifully. Well done. Incarcerating souls in Satan's holes! brilliant. -Philo
