They Haunt These Halls of Hallowed Heart By Wayne Russell




If you douse the lights and
gather in the corner with it
you know that voice of doubt
and of pestilence.

That old devil of trickery and
deceit, those photos come to
life and laugh, depressions way.

Those photos of those whom
have fallen into that finial
serenade of death, laughing now.

They seem to whisper the loudest
when you are alone at night, like
friendly ghost, haunting and waiting.
