Comment from Tonulak
This poem was as much about faith as it was the undead and you did capture some of the nervousness with irratic metter and line lengths. Good use of the couplet form, too.

Comment from The Stranger
Echoes reverberate, twisting my mind,
Paranoid images creeping from behind,
Ghosts of my past, memories I own,
Relentless agony, leave me alone!
Faces appear, demons I've cast,
So long ago, condemned to the past,
Those who hurt, ripped me apart,
Tortured, left me with a broken heart!
Skeletons hang, hidden by a door,
Rattling, coming to life once more,
Why pursue me, invading my dream?
Nightmares, always making me scream!
Shadows move closer, seeking my soul,
Must remain focused, preserve my self control,
Creeping, stalking, always from behind,
Echoes reverberate around my haunted mind...
loved your poem my friend...

If he is a believer, he would not be terrified. This is well written with an interesting poetic flow of words. There is very good imagery.

A new approach at relating the authors salvation to a life ever after spent in hell. We need always be cautious as you say as hell try's day after day to snag us

Very true and we all flee from this monster who devours souls. It takes the love Of God to fight this monster. Your poem has strong images of fear and Faith. Very smooth line flow and your photo compliments your poem well. Blessings Rita
