A Date with.........?

A Date with.........?

---------------------------------

Screech, bang, crash, living dead

Giant SUV turning turtle painting road red

Animals and creatures come in hordes

Ready to gulp bait, crocodiles at crossroad

Goose bumps appearing and disappearing

Out of line ants and deer falling

Snakes, trying to wriggle out

Lizards getting sudden bout

Angles and demons flying around

Cries and groans of dead abound

Banging of doors and clanging of bells

Shattering of silence frozen in hell

Sliding down a black hole

Please God ! Save my soul

Losing faith, breaking down

In my seat shrinking down

Wide eyed absorbing the brutal shock

“Is she alive ? Why wearing white frock?”

Want to scream and shout

Run run but bolted out

Dreadful chill through the spine

Someone whispers, “you are miiiiiine”

Sweat sprouts fountain like

Watching my ancestor holding the mic

 “Come out of stupor my poor child !

 Forget the damn accident and don’t rewind”

Frenzied activities slow the pace

My wife’s love only saving grace

Am I possessed ? No. Let me tell you fair and square

Just having another date with this stupid nightmare.
