Black Sea

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Psychological horror adventure

Black Sea


Innocuous winds stir on the surface

Diabolical, sinuous unknowns, chilled to the bone

What dwells beneath is what concerns us

The Black Sea has secrets hidden in the depths

Dark ages wait in pain


Thick tar buried, expired with the spirit

Fermenting hate below the sunken boat

Something with bad breath and jagged teeth

Sinks deeper without sleep into the mind

Anticipates death and never rests


Lurks ugly in contempt with nefarious intent

Grabs for you to drag you down

There is no cure for abominations sent from hell

With malice, psychotic episodes that never end

Iniquity is not that pretty in the dark of hearts


Found at the level of the dead

Layers of warped consciousness licking at the brain

Over the edge with insanity to feed

It wants brains to eat to suck out all ideas

One thought at a time until they are gone


It does not matter that monsters have no manners

Etiquette is for the weak of mind, delicate of spirit

Creatures from the sea don't care what you are thinking

If this seems strange to you, familiar or too dangerous

It's true
