Overkill Poem by Bryony Sheldon
Overkill
Darkened midnight crypt
Reeking of cadaverine
Horror lurks at night
Gets on like a second skin
Rattling of bones
On rusted, blunt meat hooks
Thrown in the melting pot
Smell the way the skin cooks
Anarchy's apostles
With voracious lust
Shredding the victim alive and
Grind the skull to dust
Poisonous clouds stain the sky
Voodoo pins through the chest
Black magic sorcerers drain the soul
And rot away the flesh
Breathing in the hot smoke
Lungs boil from within
Eyeballs pop and mouth foams up
Small price for the cost of sin
Choking on froth and teeth and blood
Body jerks and is overheating
Finally the bats tear off the head
But the heart's still beating
Inspired by Dave Mustaine's "The Skull Beneath The Skin"

Don't need to go see a horror movie after this! . So well concentrated and said, my hair still standing on edge and, weirdly, enough, I can't even get up from my chair. You have some descriptive poetical powers that might have even made, poet, Allan Poe shudder.
Haha, thank you! I am really glad to hear that from someone as talented as yourself- the work of Poe was actually what inspired me to originally write poems. Have a nice day!
