Chereads / Blood Red and Black / Chapter 3 - Under the Crimson Night

Chapter 3 - Under the Crimson Night

Ghost the horse hoof

Of a tripper,

In midst of stale sky

And frowning forest.

Creak, the crack of dead leaves

And mournful wood howls.

Against the frown of trunks

Lies an inky lodge.

Whom gates cry when push open.

Tripper knocks the ripped door

That flings lifeless,

Revealing fog like murk

And creeps of longed bugs.

He pants as thunder cremates sky,

And shudder when floor squall by leather boot.

Wings flapped over crimson moon,

And windows let just the light not die.

He trailed in with heart in hand.

Welcoming him, was rugged bed,

And blood-red bedsheet,

Which he pulled over And,

Swarmed bugs of dozen.

Fright! He nabbed for escape,

But stuck in winding halls

And mournful supper of bloodshot stairs.

He cried and yanked every door,

And at sudden such door, his heart tore!

Grieve skeleton chained to side wall,

And flies digesting last bits of flesh,

He screamed and ran, but then jerked another door

And vicious shadows plunged his heart.

It shook and he realised

That it is his horse.

For he rode it and

Promised to never trip,

For if he survived.
