The Doll

[MystyrMystyry]

Gobble! Gobble! Slurp! Slurp!

Dinnertime

or

Suppertime

Time to Feast!


Summoned from my Sleep of Death

I Search Through the Fluorescent Black

As my Dead Eyes once again don't open

My Lids Sewn Shut with String - Alack!


Torture Beyond This World my Sin

Crawling out from my Muddy Grave

Tainted by the Blood of Yesternight

I Scumble toward the Cave


My Masters Guide me on

Twisting the Limbs of my Effigy

Beneath this Foul Blood Moon

And I Cannot but Obey


Leave me be, my Crumbling Bones!

But my Throat is Rotten Through

No Voice Forthcoming from my Mouth

Nor Breath, nor Spit, no Teeth to Chew


Twelve more Virgins They Demand

Before my Debt is Paid by Lore

Then I may Sleep for Once and All

And my Dead Heart Beat No More


Driven by the Pulse of Their Voodoo Drums

I am Allowed One Treat

The Fresh Brains of Every Sacrifice

Are Mine Alone to Eat


The Maid Sings Beneath the Moonlight

And I Must Strike in Quiet

Not Be Seen Beforehand

Unless We Begin a Riot


For a Maiden's Scream is Shrill Indeed

Villager's Tools Sharp - and Pierce

I am Mere Rot-Flesh and Maggots -

They'd Damage me Something Fierce


I'll Spend No Half-Dead Eternity in Bits

But Fortunately I'm a Professional Snatch

And Stuffing my Hand into Her Mouth

Her Tongue my Fingers Latch


If a Troubador I Appear Not To Be

It's not my Fault the Refrains

Always End the Identical Same:


Brains

Brains!

BRAINS!

BRAINS!

BRAINS!

BRAINS!

Your format of line spacing implies each line is not so connected with the other when they obviously are.

Anyway, from clowns to brain eating dolls.....grizzly stuff. It reminds me of the slow torture my doll suffered at the hands of my older brother....set your doll upon him now!

[MystyrMystyry]

Thankyou Delta - they're connected mainly by rhyme, but I did try to make each line worth of slight meditation, to give the the feeling of the slow pacing zombie - perhaps it's too slow you mean?

Not sure if your brother's virginal enough for this zombie - you'll have to check with him...

EEP, you did the dolls! Lids sewn shut with string... shudder! I am going to have some serious nightmares tonight.

Interesting!
love the rhyme too :)

Makes me want to try my hand at some Voodoo or "Hoodoo" might be the more correct term in this situation, I'm not sure. You've tickled me with gore in a way I never thought possible. It built up throughout so that when the refrain hit, I exploded with laughter. Delicious.

[MystyrMystyry]

every, thankyou - of course I did the dolls - do you think when I seek advice it goes unheeded?

Not!


Pensive, thankyou - first time I've ever been complimented on rhyming - but once you begin, it's difficult to stop


deryk, thankyou - and you made me realise that font sizes could also be incorporated to some added effect (though it may be a bit much - but then again...
