Combining classic rhyme schemes with nuances of dark yet clever, nostalgic, and sometimes ironic poetry, Ryan Griffin masterfully weaves tales of childhood wonder, lost love, and of things that go bump in the night! Not since Edgar Allan Poe has an author captured the mystery and macabre that lies so deep within all of us all. Poem themes include: murder, mayhem, suicide, solitude, lost love, zombies & more!
Autumn Shadows
Candles flicker in the growing cold
Streets are barren, growing old.
An eerie chime sounds from a bell,
All alone, where the shadows swell.
The brilliant moon sits in the sky,
As luminescent clouds float by.
Dark specters escape from their hell,
All alone, where the shadows swell.
Deafening silence engulfs the town,
As falling leaves entrench the ground.
The wind then howls a fond farewell,
All alone, where the shadows swell.
Along the path, creeping, crawling,
Unseen, silent, and slowly falling.
All alone, there I dwell,
All alone, where the shadows swell.
