Darkness Canyon

Darkness Canyon

The silence won’t stop screaming.

In a Satanic Echo canyon,

Dark images in a blackened void

Wail and howl with piercing shrills

Wide-eyed terrors flit and dart,

Never pausing, never still.

The silence won’t stop screaming,

Banner headlines of a darkened soul

Are stirred and shaken;

A muddy cocktail of an ever-living nightmare

Stealth-like, remaining sanity taken.

The silence won’t stop screaming,

A broken record of a shattered past

Perseus-played daily,

Flaunts me now to mock a troubled mind

The deadly sirens call to all

One name hailing….mine

The silence won’t stop screaming,

Sleep is slain as countless sheep

Funnel to the slaughter

Each innocent thought

A lamb to die, drowned innocence

In cesspools of desperate tones.

The silence won’t stop screaming.
