The Web Poetry Corner - J. M. Hallett - War-Ending Promises Made

War-Ending Promises Made

by

J. M. Hallett

Promises made
Meant not to keep
Only to deceive
To lull to sleep

Teeth shine bright
Through bloody lips
Madness cackles
Phantom fingers grip
As eyeless sockets
Black as coal
Reflect the still
Tormented souls

Too, ghastly screams
With sobs intermix
As laughter booms
From those transfixed
On crimson pools
Like mirrors, bright
That seize the moon's
Dire, spectral light

And promises made
Meant not to keep
Too late exposed
Humanity weeps

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Despot
