I Owe You Nothing
I gave you trust, you gave me lies,
then called me broken in disguise.
I rose from ruins, dressed in black,
and left your judgment in the past.

Day 8: Stinky A new guest is here Showing them around the house He's happy today Near the closet now A stink coming from in there "A dead mouse, perhaps?” He’s avoidant "Maybe," he says and quickly changes the subject It's unbearable decay is filling the lungs “Let’s go someplace else." Tony can't risk it This is his thirteenth target His lucky numberDay 9: Ram Marty rammed his car Intentionally into the tree It was an accident That's what he’d try and tell thee Trying to make it look like one For a punishment less severe He would convince everyone He lost control of the steer The animal he has killed Is regarded as sacred Go to prison for ten years And face the community's hatred Little does he know The forest has eyes Drinking, murder, now trickery To his sins the forest is wise The moon would once again witness Nature’s justice from afar The tree’s damaged trunk was his alibi Now its roots are devouring the car

Day 7 of 24 - Isdareth the Grieving Mirror — Formless and fluid, she reflected the sorrow of everyone who looked at her. She absorbed too much pain and fractured. Her shards scatter now through the dreams of the dying.

A Woman Written in Ink
Your tattoos are constellations,
your hands, celestial maps.
I would lose myself willingly
between the lines of your body
and the universe beneath your fingertips.

Day 7: Panic 🛰️

#darkpoetry #halloween #writingcommunity #cosmichorror
#poetrycommunity #horrorsky #amwritinghorror #spookyszn

The scientists had finally found life beyond Earth. Only to realise, all these planets were on course for decimation. They were tracking these planets. Thousands down, a hundred more to go. The curse of knowledge, of knowing you can't do anything. With only minutes left for Jupiter to come for the Earth, people scramble around, hopeless but with enough hope to run, with nowhere to go. For years the planet had shielded us from a million rocks. Something made it come our way. Something has decided life must end, in all its forms.

Dark poetry
The night sewed shut my lips,
the shadows wrote for me;
I poured my fears into ink,
and silence spoke at last.

Re-sharing a dark poem (suppose you might call it a dark sonnet) I rewrote and reworked earlier this year — "The Succubus (2026)".
The original written c. 2011 was clunky; this version flows much better.
#poem #poetry #darkpoem #darkpoetry #succubus

The Succubus (2026) by Richard H. Fay She stepped out of an incandescent mist And sealed my fate with an impassioned kiss. We conceived plans for an eventide tryst Where I lost my soul to infernal bliss. Bewitching sparks lit up her ebon eyes. Luscious lips parted in a lustful grin As dread shades cavorted in darkened skies To celebrate my descent into sin. Naked flesh shivered from her lethal touch. My doomed soul departed this mortal shell And slipped into the Devil’s grasping clutch — Forbidden passions had damned me to Hell! Fall not for this fiend’s nefarious charms Or find yourself caught in Lucifer’s arms!

Day 6 of 24 - Zephaniel the Pale Flame — Once the spark at the heart of divine wrath, he dimmed with every unpunished injustice. When he extinguished himself, the Eternal Fire flickered, and God blinked.

Corpse-Candles by Richard H. Fay Glittering bright orbs Move through naked trees, Dancing and darting Like restless children Playing hide-and-seek In a quaint garden. Souls lost in the night Soar in the still air. They gather near me, But stay out of reach. They lead me deeper Into the dark wood. As a moth to flame I follow the lights. Blackness surrounds me. Only the flicker Of spectral candles Guides my reckless steps. The ancient oaks part To reveal headstones Hidden in the wood. A forlorn graveyard Choked with thorny weeds Lays beneath the stars. Lights cavort above The overgrown graves, Then descend groundward. I spy pale phantoms Pining for warm flesh Long reduced to dust. The sad shades beckon And draw me along A perilous ridge. Blindly I stumble And tumble headfirst Down a rocky grade. Broken and bloodied, My body grows cold. As life ebbs away From this mortal shell, My spirit will join That fey troupe of lights. (Originally published June 2008 in Niteblade)

The mirror blinks once,
I look away for a breath,
my reflection smiles.

Dark Poetry
I wrote about the night,
the night wrote about me;
when I finished the poem,
I no longer knew who had lived it.

Re-sharing my dark poem "My Haunted House" (now in 3 parts) originally published April 2008 in Issue 284 of the webzine BEWILDERING STORIES.
This one DIDN'T get added to my double-length collection.

My Haunted House by Richard H. Fay Troubled memories drag me back To the site of my deepest fears. I travel once more to the spot That spawned my most terrible dreams. I draw near the frowning facade, Set to face my personal Hell. I must confront the ghosts within For my soul to be truly free. I ascend the rickety stairs And turn the knob with sweaty palms. An acrid, choking dust wells up As I open the creaking door. The scent of death hangs in the air. Hot blood drums in my throbbing head As I cross the crooked threshold And enter my forsaken home. 1 of 3 Shadows move amongst the cobwebs And drift across the filthy floor. Echoes of dreadful thoughts and deeds Resound throughout the dank abode. Images of strife flood my mind. A great sadness overtakes me As the grey walls weep crimson tears And the whole house shudders and sighs. My chilled body shivers and shakes As a prickly draught sweeps past me. A violent vision appears Before eyes blurred by bitter pain. Seething anger and abject fear Tie my stomach in tangled knots As long buried torment returns And my life's heartache is replayed. Somehow I find the hidden strength To challenge the grim, restless shades. I take a deep breath, clench my fists, And screw up my courage to cry "Fell, black phantoms, haunt me no more! Back to the past where you belong!" Haggard spectres threaten gravely, But I hold my ground against them. 2 of 3 Evil faces twist and distort Into spiteful visions of hate. Apparitions swirl about me In a churning, whirring vortex. Wispy hands reach out for my soul, But I recoil from their cold touch. "Enough!" I scream as I feel faint. "Leave my wretched spirit alone!" The dark wraiths wail pitifully, Then the fearful scene fades to black. The defeated phantoms retreat Back into the dim murky mist Of recollections and regrets. I stumble down the rotten steps And leave exhausted but content, Glad to be rid of my demons Once and for all. (Originally published April 2008 in Issue 284 of the webzine BEWILDERING STORIES.) 3 of 3

Gloom latches on when you rouse Despair follows you around In this barren house The floor and ceiling seem to collide Wanting to swallow you whole Something watches you from the bedside Not one sapling survives In this soil that reeks of decay A rot that nothing could revive The hands of the grandfather clock Move slowly, as does the time And with it, all the joy it blocks The birds fly smack into the walls Not even into the glass windows Dead animals around the boundary sprawl Don't be mistaken, this isn’t a haunted house It is a house that haunts, with a sinister grouse.Marty is the most timid kid in school He's scared of zombies and the Yeti The vampires and the werewolves The ogres, trolls and even Nessie He lies awake at night Thinking of things that come in crawling The slightest sound gives him a fright He’s tossing in bed till morning When he grows up he’ll realise All these monsters might sound scary But the thing that should frighten him most Are humans and not the fairies Things a human does could alarm But it is never a surprise We are capable of doing more harm Than an evil spirit could ever devise

No light dares to wake,
Sinking in the ocean deep
Of the velvet shade.
