They walk on silent feet
through the forest so deep.
I must keep moving my feet
without stopping to sleep.
The howling wind plays their song
of bloody deaths for us all.
They’re not for this place for long.
They wait for the town to fall.
They are surrounding me.
I can’t outrun their reach.
Somehow I must get free
and make it to the beach.
The ground is opening.
Sadly I know for whom.
I’m falling in a hole
that will soon be my tomb.
THE DEAD GAME by Susanne Leist
Dancing in the moonlight
can be hazardous to your health.
🌴THE DEAD GAME🌴
My warning has come true.
Stay at home.
Color my world.
In shades of purple.
In hues of violet.
Cover the world
The good.
The bad.
The ugly.
In purple.

Alice Svane
The darkness approaches.
It encroaches.
We’re cocooned in its shell.
Hidden in its depths.
Lost in its silence.
I will close my shutters.
Shut my windows.
But it still enters.
Take cover.
End House holds evil.
Within the walls.
Hidden in the dark basement.
Windows shatter.
Creatures attack.
No one is safe from The Dead.
THE DEAD GAME by Susanne Leist
The birds sense evil.
They fly away.
Time for us to flee.
THE DEAD take no prisoners.
THE DEAD GAME by Susanne Leist
UNTIL THE NIGHT
The bushes dance
to their own beat.
They comfort me
as they dip and sway.
When the sun wakes,
their branches part.
And I walk free.
Until the night.
Row as far as you can
and as fast as you can
to a place of fantasies
where nothing
is what it seems.
A place where
anything is possible.
Take a chance.
The improbable might
become the possible.
