haunted hospital
they used to keep them here you know
the criminally insane
locked away in thickly padded rooms
thorazine flooded veins..
cold blooded killers, for the most part
truly societies bane
predators at heart,, feeding sick minds
staving off their pain..
the ones that perished within these walls
denied admittance to the next plane
walk the halls, of a full moon
it has become their domain..
they have been spotted on a midnight clear
feeding on the slain
at banquet tables rich with blood
drinking expensive champagne
so tread lightly here,, if at all you must
better to refrain
for inside these hallowed halls they dwell
much to their disdain…

Haunting. Both with the music and with the subject. Haunting.

Haunting at its best! The fourth stanza has some unforgettable imageries like “feeding on the slain” and “banquet table rich with blood”. Thanks!

I’ll drink to that
eerie, chilling, provocative, but well written
