The Blue Shuttered House on Fear Street

The Blue Shuttered House on Fear Street

A Poem by Kala Benfield

Hushing specters leaping 
from one room to another.
Shrieking a plea.
'Be gone!'
She howled.
Not a wolf could
amount to such a scream.
Piercing the ears of the children
blocks down.
Wrecking her own bleeding
mentality.

From the needles,
she closes her glossy eyes.
Sweating out the high.
Hemorrhaging from her arms
as shes swimming in the asylum.

Ventose voices arrange her dreams 
into nightmares.
Twisting her head 'round.
Her arched back perspirating
through the tattered 
white sheets.
Another nauseating howl.

The shadow of a spiders leg,
the pit of her glassy 
hallucinations.  
Inkblot blemishes decay her bed.
Rot it into a flame.
Her blue shuttered house.
Refraining from the matches.

She grabs one.

Howling another shriek.
No control over herself.
A shrouded veil o're
her face. 
Blasphemy took over.
Look what shes done.
Up in flames it goes.
Her vanity she used as 
a resting place.
Leaving the ashes to 
decompose her 

Blue Shuttered House.

Breaking out with an oil lamp
and her bare feet.
Darts to a shaken,
rotted night terror.
Something she fears.
Grasping her life.
Sinking fangs into a life that
was ruined by blasphemers. 

No words can be written to describe
the death of she.
She wrote a plea,
nor brush strokes can paint 
on a canvas.

The blood of a lamb, 
finding the innocence lying
lifeless in her redemption web.

Dangling teeth o're her
translucent neck.
Devouring her poisoned body.
Watching the blood drip from the web
that wraps around her physique.

She won't succumb to her
trepidation. N'er she will.
An unfortunate plea she made.
A howling plea no one saw,
nor heard.
The hellish extortion ruined she.
Forth righting everything she 
owned.

Her sores were of a man
who seeped deep within her spine.
Sitting tight when he snapped his fingers.
Tightening his web to suffocate demented
innocence. 
Liquefying her bones.
Drinking marrow
out of the ashes of bone left 
of little innocence.

Before,
long ago when in a vein realm
she so desperately cringed
to escape.
She seared instead.
Instead she blew out.
Exploding through the posts.
Splintering her porch
where she rocked her little ones,
they too burned.
Bringing more life then death
For they did not suffer.
Only ashed as the Blue Shuttered House
scorched through the night.

To be a witness of such a murder.
The blood stains on her 
ink blotted blouse,
what a witness to be apart.

Disguising mistakes with good-bye.

Peeling back the skin on the little ones.
Piled on top of each other like wood.
Although, 
many souls dancing free
on this night,
there still serves a reminder 
of the fears in this Blue Shuttered House.

I like this. The story inside the poem is great, and some of your more complicated expressions kinda add up to it. They make it all dark, and perhaps a bit mystical. And the imagery is very good, I could perfectly see it all happening in my head.
Awesome job!
