Poetry Month Gone Dark! Rich Orth's Killian's Curse

Killian's Curse! ©Rich Orth 11/23/13

Whence a witch falls in love... Let no man put asunder
Fall in love with another...Beware fire, brimstone, lightning, thunderFor cursed ye shall be

So a story begins...no end to which one can retreat

Accursed...meandering amongst the trenches
As corpses pile high and stench rises

Soulless one amongst an empire of pyres

Feeds the flames as Death proceeds..door to door
Tis Killian's Curse...he of the undead
Treading where all fear the dread..
Dread of Hell upon this earth...
For this plague eats away...sinners of this world

Sanctimonious afterbirth
Disposable flesh unfurled
Tis Killian's Curse...he of the undead
Treading where all fear the dread..
Dread of Hell upon this earth...
Dread of dying and possible rebirth

For in this time of dying..

Only Killian continues on...
heaping the reaping...
From Dusk til dawn
Tis Killian's Curse...he of the undead
Treading where all fear the dread..
Dread of Hell upon this earth...
