Cheating Chaos From The Throws Of Darkness Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

_______ Author's Prologue _______

Below... is an excerpt 'based'on my Short-
Story fictional Horror titled, ''Tap The
Syringe Twice''...
And for the sake of poetic
respect I have restructured the text to ac-
comodate a poetic flavour, though its basic
construction falls more towards Prose.
Hope you enjoy.........FjR

Upon approaching the pine wood door, the one on the right,
there was a crackling sound, like wood or bones snapping,

And placing my left hand on the tarnished brass knob,
I felt the pain of a thousand needles,
a most torturous stinging as if incisioned
without the mercy of anesthesia......yes,
of which I am far more than mildly familiar with.


Seconds later, the door took flight, unhinging itself-
from the melting Fahrenheit.......penetrating the door,
empowering a clamorous combustion, strewing,
ember's of ruby, cardinal, cherry, and claret -
vermillion, crimson, amber, and scarlet,
each hue representing the pour of human blood.

And.....behind it all stood a steel mounted mirror,
and inside it a reflection of my flesh burning madly!
