How in seconds our lives can change
remembering when we met what fun
it was incredible just being with you
how your love simply filled my heart
thought your feelings were the same
that view changed as hate came!
Felt a sharp pain in my back that night
with disbelief in me you thrust a knife
your emotions had gone into reverse
sweet so kind thinking we were close
soul mates sharing our lives forever
now its my death we share together!

That feeling of unease persisted all day
life was good there were no problems
as he left the office heading to the bar
meeting friends for a Friday night drink
the streets busy as usual he felt safe
not noticing a car parked close behind
stepping up the pace began to unwind!
Never heard footsteps and a voice shout
just the sharp pain suddenly in his back
he fell face down onto the hard sidewalk
did not see nor hear the panic all around
being rushed to the emergency room
clinically in a critical condition on arrival
the assessment no chance of his survival!
Became another victim of mistaken identity
caught in the middle of a drugs dispute
as the streets became the battleground
a bullet removed from within his aorta
loss of blood and sever trauma he died
at this point he became aware of voices
then he could see gowned figures below
as he was rising above them so slow!
The patient on the operating table was him
alarms sounded as they said he was dead
found himself passing through solid floors
could see one laced trainer on a balcony
became warm and a blinding light ahead
so peaceful how contented no worries
coming ever closer wanted to be accepted
never had such a warmth or so protected!
But darkness came once more he was back
felt the tube in his throat could not move
so tired the sense of euphoria had faded
was soon brought out of the induced coma
informed his heart had stopped for a time
able to explain his time at heavens gate
of what he heard and saw certain it was real
now how different in himself he did feel!
Had he experienced deaths welcoming clatter
they did find the trainer where he indicated
now always happy to tell his story and chatter
about that day from life nearly separated!

Though claustrophobic agreed to enter the cave
his girlfriend keen to go on the tour
she did not know his phobia he tried to act brave
assured himself it would be fine
but at the sight of the dark damp sloping interior
sensed his increasing hysteria!
There was eight in the group waiting for clothing
helmets and a bright headlight
rumbling sounds and faint tremors under foot
made him want to turn and run
but everybody else were becoming so excited
his partner was really delighted!
To soon the guide gathered them inside the cave
giving compulsory talk on risks
and to stay close keeping to the designated route
as there were falling rocks
as he listened he thought he heard an odd sound
not happy being underground!
He followed trying to look interested for his girl
realising how deep it was getting
the wooden fencing and walkways were rickety
every word echoed around
those vast chambers it was a different world
without warning a rock was hurled!
The group stopped people screamed as it hit
on the path just up ahead
sounding like thunder as the guide shouted
for everybody not to panic
though did sustain a facial cut a piece of rock
was an unexpected shock!
From then on their situation became terminal
from all sides hideous beasts
crawled down the steep sharp rocks converging
they all turned running back
one a man crashed through the railings and fell
down into depths of hell!
Grabbing his girlfriend headed in the dim lighting
as he thoughts was the way
back to the surface screaming for him slowdown
but so paranoid did not listen
until he felt a violent jolt that made come to a halt
the reason for this sought!
In disbelief was holding on to her severed arm
the rest of her was gone
before he could take another step was facing
something he had never seen
a humanoid creature with huge blank eyes
it lunged nobody heard his cries!
Razor sharp teeth then ripped out his throat
as he was quickly overwhelmed
the corpses were taken back to their nest
upon the surface concern
that all communication had been terminated
no problems had been indicated!
The company had just bought this franchise
not being told of its bad history
so were oblivious to the carnage in the cave
as a rescue team prepared to enter
without the knowledge of what awaited below
into the entrance they did go!
TheFoureyedPoet.
The middle-aged couple looked over the ocean
on the deck of the cruise liner
enjoying the warm beautiful Caribbean sunset
sipping a fruity red wine
unaware of the creature crawling up the side
for them nowhere to hide!
Leaving a slime trail it slithered over the rail
down onto the empty deck
silently approaching the contented couple
opening its jaws wide
now exposing large angled razor-sharp teeth
death came from beneath!
There was no time to give any warning cry
the man savaged and swallowed
the woman violently knocked overboard
unable to make a sound
falling to more sea monsters basking below
her blood no longer did flow!
Unaware of the nearing danger passengers
slept or partied as normal
the captain still on duty pacing the bridge
viewing the radar at the blips
wondering what was causing this oddity
then not knowing their ferocity!
Rare thinking a schooling of fish were passing
not for long as reports came in
of monstrous creatures swarming the ship
attacking everybody on all levels
immediately sending out an urgent Mayday call
before their end did befall!
But for a twist of fate the message was delayed
was it the position on the sea
or an electrical storm that distorted the signal
by the time any rescue arrived
no life remained upon this passenger vessel
a mystery searchers had to wrestle!
Now classed a crime scene the ship was towed
from its very remote last position
but underneath the hull these creatures gripped
with powerful suckers undetected
into the main sea port ready to unleash their terror
that would become a shocking error!
The nightmare had just begun!
The Foureyed Poet.
On that chilly cold moonlit autumn night
friends sat by a camp fire
to keep warm and tell ghost stories
the lads full of male bravado
natural sounds amplifying the mood
the language loud and crude!
The group of five now eagerly waited
for Tom the eldest to start
then a distant flash of light lit his face
showing a monstrous outline
flinching backwards yelling in surprise
watching with suspicious eyes!
In a quiet voice his macabre tale began
five years ago on holiday
with my parents and younger brother
decided to explore a cave
over slippery and sharp rocks we scaled
at the entrance exhausted exhaled!
Outside of the cave hot with a sea breeze
but within dark and menacing
both faltered being reluctant to venture in
not wanting to be called scared
into the natural chamber we ran side by side
footsteps echoing it was ebb tide.
Unaware of time wandered into the unknown
deeper bats were flying around
my brother wanted to leave to me adventure
there was a sound like moaning
in the dim light movement a few feet ahead
of course I had to onward tread!
My brother froze afraid to come with me
a few paces on there stood
what looked like a skeleton dressed in rags
coming towards me then vanish
turned grabbed my brother and we ran fast
on the cave wall a shadow cast!
It was not ours the sunlight did not come within
but now it was flood tide
the water was rising higher making it a hazard
cutting ourselves on the rocks
being afraid the monster would follow us back
our courage now did lack!
Our parents more concerned about our injuries
so no mention of our fright
a wolf howled on cue as he gave a final evil laugh
the only other willing to tell
was Jack the youngest amongst them at seventeen
who was chirpy and keen!
As he said his first words the wood sparked loudly
and a flame shot in the air
a sudden noise nearby made his voice quiver
last year while out walking
on my own after a heated row with my girlfriend
wanting our relationship to end!
Saw a car ahead on fire as I drew near exploded
glancing inside there was a body
nearby an injured woman lay semi conscious
carefully checked how she was
then called for urgent assistance to the spot
moving her from the car it was hot!
They soon arrived and I went to guide them
but as the ambulance stopped
the crew got out and asked what was wrong
in disbelief said about the car
both looked puzzled following their gaze
nothing was there but a faint haze!
Abruptly stopping as there was like footsteps
yet nothing visible the fire went out
one week later a search party found the five
four were pronounced dead
a faint groan was heard from one Jack
he was rushed quickly back!
It seemed the other four had died of fright
what had done this during the night!
Jack never woke up again to tell them!

The gladiator faced a fierce deadly foe
forced into the arena
stained with blood of many men before
hostile crowds jeering
shouting abuse with an increasing fire
a savage death their desire!
No shade the sun burnt unprotected skin
sweat poured from each pore
clad in leather armour and metal helmet
with growing agitation
watching his opponent slowly advance
to quickly kill the chance!
Holding sharp swords and small shields
to maximise the injuries
every blow followed by a baying crowd
sapping their strength
chunks of flesh gouged by pitiless slashes
with the increased clashes!
The superior champion gladiator parried
knowing how to defeat
overpowering without mercy his quarry
hacking him to the ground
the final merciful strike raised a cheer
the death bloody and severe!
Lifting his dripping sword above his head
saluting crowd and dignitary
triumphant and proud the people’s hero
another victory achieved
impassive while body was hastily removed
again his superiority proved!
The gladiator proudly went to receive his trophy!
The Foureyed Poet.
He stood poised the axe raised ready to strike
no remorse in his cold heart!
As the sharp blade makes that final clean-cut
the cheers raising his adrenaline.
Making him proud of being the executioner
his sadistic nature began to stir!
High up on the cold stark and stained stones
towering over his latest victim!
His face hidden behind his sweaty black hood
emotionless at their pleading!
He had status yet was loathed and feared
by the people even as they cheered!
Many heads rolled under his term in the post
bringing excitement and tension.
A barbaric spectacle drew the large crowds
to watch the condemned die!
But too often when the cut was not precise
the blows were at least thrice!
The executioner now no longer plies his trade
in most cultures today.
That phantom vision still makes the skin crawl
evil eyes staring identity hidden.
A monster where there’s no chance of escape
as the condemned await their fate!
Hopelessness and despair on their final walk!
Death now their only salvation!
