The Boogieman

This is inspired by my ex Don's Alias 'Boogieman Alzalaus'. He wrote something similar to this but his was more ICP rap & mod while mine is more formal. Enjoy.

A blood-curdling scream pierces the night.

A faceless demon invades your sight.

As he draws near, you're filled with fright.

You cast desperate glances left & right.

 

6 feet of shadowy brawl,

Back you towards an alley wall.

You slip on a loose stone, trip & fall.

There's no escape in sight at all.

 

He says in a voice like the howling wind,

"'Tis time to repent for all your sins.

You had a chance. Your time grows thin.
Time for the bloody show to begin.

 

You sob at his feet & beg to be spared.

He picks you up easily by your hair.

He tells you, "Now that's hardly fair."

And ponders while you gasp for air.

 

"3 days you have to change." Says he.

"Or again you'll have to face me.

If you stay good I'll let you be,

If not you'll burn for eternity."

 

Into the shadows fades the thing.

You feel such relief, why you could sing!

After two days you forget this 'shadow king'.

But forgetting leads to the same old things.

 

You stand over a pretty girl.

On a bloodstained mattress she is curled.

You tear her shirt, & grab blonde curls.

Behind you, a figure of smoke unfurls.

 

"You had your chance." Calls an icy drone.

You turn to find yourself alone.

The hotel & the girl are gone.

As the memories come back you give a groan.

 

"I shant be bargained with again.

It's time for this silly game to end.

I have other buisnes to attend.
Now from your shoulders, you head I shall rend."

 

You try to run but it's too late.

You spin around to face your fate.

Next thing you know you're at hell's gate.

There's a long line...& a very long wait.

Good Lazada this is old! I take a look and I see this sitting my shelf! Lol

Still, good as the day you wrote it!

Nice. Typically, I don't like rhyme poems, but this one was rather catchy. Great subject too. Initially, I was rooting for the guy, hoping he'd be safe, but you had me saying "gut his a*s!" by the end. Good work.

lol. Yeeee I don't reccomend reading this before bed....or Deal With The Devil. I think it might have given me a nightmare last night too...not that I know what the Boogieman has to do with being in an enclosed room underwater in a sinking boat. >.
