Eyes of Swollen Light

Yes…a poem that’s NOT written by Wisp! 😛 It’s actually my first poem. Just so you know, I really like it when poetry rhymes. If it doesn’t rhyme, it’s like eating a good sandwich without bread.

Dark shadows drift through dank fog
Swallowed by depths of a forgotten bog
He rises from his soggy grave, drenched in death,
Damned is he who perceives his shallow breath

He moves, he shivers, he moans, he crows:
“Where I come from, no one knows.”
When he shuffles in streets, the living despair
Those who see him, are few and rare.

And those who see his eyes of swollen light
Will never cease to end, their walks at night
Wondering, wandering, ‘round the creek bend:
“Will this dreadful nightmare ever end?”

Hello, I'm David. Or D.H. Scott, my pen name. I like music (one of my favorite bands is the Cranberries). I like candy, potato chips, sugar, and pretty much anything else that'll give my dentists nightmares. I like writing horror and drama stuff--my two favorite genres, by the way. I write short stories occasionally, but I try to work on bigger stuff. My Dad's is a self-published author: Michael J. Scott. Check some of his books out, OK? Dad's been proofreading my stuff for as long as I can remember--he deserves some credit.
