On Fear

18/10/2010

0 Comments

 
Hairy and scary but funnier than hell
   Don't go a ringin' that frightening bell

Monsters and maidens and scientists too
   Cheap and sick movies hold us like glue

How can you help but love the corn syrup
   In buckets of red, that's how they pour it

Lucky we are to have tales such as these
    Regardless of quality or factor that's cheese

A moment of pleasure mixed with some fear
    The are the moments that horror holds dear

Few and far is how often they come
   There is a small fad and then they are done

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Don't scare me like that!
   You and your mask make me jump like a cat!

A heart rate increase of at least two fold
    I never thought you would dare be so bold

Appreciate I can a good hearty scare
   There's no possible way one can prepare

That's what makes innocent scares so bloody great
   There is no real danger, just fear we create

This is not refering to real life times
    Not about evil with no reason or rhyme

When strangers act with ill intent
   Then you may know what true fear is meant

If your close family comes under threat
   There is no fear like that, on this you can bet

If there is some shame that one could expose
    I hope fear like that you never must know

These real worries need not keep one afraid
    For fearing daily gives is to much power paid

To conquer our fears defines a human
   We all get chances in our short life span

Lets keep fear and fun mixed up together
    Perhaps this can make, life a little better

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
