[bodytext] => Gargoyle Progeny So many years - - surely not - - not here Tangible dread - - no sound in the room It comes - - I feel it now - - moving near Please God that it had not sensed him now Eyes blazed in the darkness. How - - please how? Moving around - - scratching - - smelling fear Moving closer now - - owning the gloom Explosion of flesh - - lo! Stygian leer On the bed - - sniffing - - sensing its prey Howl of the demon - - an unholy cheer The Gargoyle triumphant - - back from Hell That visage of death - - charnel house smell Razor-like claws - - searching for flesh Terrible fortune - - the battle renewed The face - - hideous in the extreme lurched forward Toward me - - the foul-smelling odour of its breath Assaulting my nostrils. I could not move - - held Transfixed by the beast - - my days surely numbered With great effort - - I hurled myself from the bed - - All the while my eyes unable to pull from the meld Cowering against the wall - - I could feel only death I could not speak - - I shed tears of fear but not a word I noticed with embarrassment that I had relieved Myself. Sheer terror now guided my actions Death was only moments away. What to do? Ever closer it approached - - steam rising from Its hideous body - - the smell now causing me To vomit copiously - - my mind accepted death Do not fear so - - What’s this? A voice in the darkness - - Remember - - Melissa! Sweet joy and happenstance Of great fortune! I sensed in the beast a change, pausing To test the air - - hesitancy now - - unsure it stopped A sound like stone on stone - - the beast spoke - - dead Lips forming peculiar sound - - My angel moved - - ring Of purest white surrounded her - - a pause - - vengeance - - The devil scuttled back - - its carapace clattered - - duress It knew not what to do but was a-feared. Melissa Stepped into the fray - - stepped? No for floated did She - - moving ever forward - - arms aloft - - incanted Cabalistic verse - - unheard in centuries - - words Of purest Death - - floated on the ether. Demon spun And in an instant vanished. Melissa - - gone - -a dream?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
