Nightmares Came A Knocking Poem by John Scully

Nightmares Came A Knocking

Rating: 5.0


Footsteps soften at the door,
Like darkness, a presence still unsure.
For it has awakened a trembling there
Of whispered souls lost in prayer.

An envious candle, mercy lit
A stolen view of heaven's gate
For as the spirits wandered led
Plague bells rang among the dead.

And in the muttered death-cold town
Ghostly dreams pond'rous settled down
And strangers at the cemetary gates
Murdered thoughts gathered late.

For in that sorry town
Disfigured hearts tussled sleep
As witchery abounds the night
And silent stands the deathly acolyte.
