Medium Poems

The Raven’s Cry

The raven perches on the tree,
A solitary black silhouette,
And from his beak a mournful cry,
A dark and eerie monologue.

He sings of feelings, long repressed,
Of sorrows deep within his breast,
Of dreams turned to eternal night,
Of hopes that vanished out of sight.

The raven’s voice is sorrowful,
A tribute to his loss and pain,
And as he sings his mournful chant,
He echoes our own lament.

For as we listen to his woe,
We realize we too can know
The pain and darkness in our hearts,
The sorrow that our soul imparts.

The Haunted House

The house stands silent, empty, bare,
A shadow of what once was there,
Its walls are gray, its windows dim,
A ghostly relic of past sin.

For in this place, a tragic tale,
Of murder, death, and bitter wail,
Of bones left rotting in the ground,
Of secrets never to be found.

The walls still echo with her screams,
The sound of breaking glass and beams,
The whispers of the long dead past,
Of a story that will always last.

For in this house, a spirit lingers,
A dark and brooding force that lingers,
Such is the power of her grief,
That no one dared to bring relief.

So if you hear a creaking floor,
Or catch a glimpse of something more,
Just remember, this is no dream,
This haunted house will make you scream.

Long Poems

The Haunting Melody of the Gothic Night

The Gothic night is a wicked symphony,
Played by the masters of darkness and mystery.
Their haunting melody echoes through the air,
Sending chills down the spine and filling hearts with despair.

The moon is their conductor, its silver light aglow,
As they play their instruments, in the shadows below.
The creaking of old houses, the rustling of dead leaves,
All add to the eerie chorus, that nobody believes.

Their music dances through the fog,
And makes the trees sway to their song,
Creating an atmosphere of dread,
Where only the bravest can tread.

The ghosts of the long-dead residents,
Join in the chorus with their own instruments,
Their voices wailing, their hands playing,
A symphony of terror, that keeps on swaying.

The wind howls like a banshee,
And the midnight hour tick-tocks on,
But still the Gothic night plays on,
A never-ending, spine-chilling song.

And so, as the sun begins to rise,
And the night fades into the day,
Their music is gone, their audience gone,
Until the Gothic night returns again to play.

The Haunted Tower

Amidst the mist and darkness deep,
Stands an old tower, looming steep.
Its ancient stones and rusted gates,
Whisper tales of tragic fates.

The ivy creeps along the walls,
Flitting bats within its halls.
The crows that perch upon its spire,
Sing out a mournful, ghostly choir.

Within its gloomy chamber walls,
The echoes of the past still call.
A long forgotten secret lies,
The restless spirits, still they rise.

The wind that howls through broken panes,
A constant, eerie refrain.
A chorus of spectral wails,
A haunt that never quite unveils.

The tower, once a place of light,
Now shrouded in a timeless blight.
Its silent halls and darkened rooms,
Breathes a sense of eternal gloom.

The melancholy strains of music,
Whispers of the souls it took.
Of one who loved and one who lost,
Forever doomed to bear the cost.

No bird will sing within this place,
No sunlight reaches in its space.
Only shadows stir and move,
And something stirs from ancient grooves.

A presence that can not be seen,
Inhabitants of a world in between.
The tower, no refuge, no solace,
Only a haunt, and forgotten palace.

The tower stands, a darkened shrine,
Remembering all that once was fine.
Its secrets hidden deep below,
Where spectral spirits forever roam.

The Haunted Tower, forever bound,
In a swirl of mist and shadow round,
Its secrets deep, its story told,
A haunting specter, never old.
