Dungeon

Dark is the dungeon
where I dwell
my life has become a living hell

Night descends but for all I know
there could be daylight
or a candles glow

The fires of hell may be burning bright
but this I cannot see
the bread crumb trail I followed
ended inside of me

Witches on broomstick
are for fairy tale and light
other entities fill my night
leaving me pallid with fright

Incense,myrrh and candle wax
never stand a chance
as I've come to watch the demons dance
with their banner and their ax

Ablaze with summoning the powers that be
they wail and flail at the rancid air
for all and none to see

Within this dungeon
where I dwell
I am the ruler
of my own hell

These are places that some dwell for a while it is human to do so.
It is the getting out is the problem, not sure how you get out of a hole there are many suggestions on how though lol.
Take care my thoughts to you and yours, as always, Ian.T

Please not to worry about the number of comments it is a one sided thing.
I have a terrible problem with it.
I clear out the Undiscovered place many times and the ones that are there still don't respond, I think I left Neo last Xmas time I was so cross with the whole thing, and near on did it again this week.
I know how you feel and it is a damn shame that we have to keep going along with the ones that can't do wrong.
If I put a swear word in my title I get a better response, I just don't know anymore.
I am in a workshop with Weirdelf at the moment and the going is very hard never got mentioned in dispatches even lol.
One thing I will say that you just keep posting your works here, as with mine it's a good storage space lol.
You take care out there and know we often think of you both,
Yours Ian.T

I'm sorry to be late to come to this. I'm really lazy.
I think this piece belongs well to jess's workshop where real emotions come across to me though I wished no one would have such an experience.
Please post more. It is always great to share..

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

Hello and thank you do much. I always liked Vincent Price's films so this come as quite a compliment for me
