The Sleepy Dog Of Hell

Standard

I go outside,
To smoke a cigarette,
I’m surrounded by the night’s sky,
And my troubles I soon forget,
I take out my phone,
To try and capture this peace filled occasion,
As such calm in this life,
Rarely comes free and without persuasion,
But something unknown makes me focus,
On the picture I’ve now obtained,
I zoom in to look at the moon,
And see something no man could explain,
Something lurking in the clouds,
Some kind of demonic looking hound,
I have no idea nor clue,
Of what my eyes have just found,
I try to make sense of it,
But before I do so,
The powers that be,
Are quick to let me know,
It’s a messenger of hell,
Sent straight from the abyss,
This canine of the sky,
Locks on too me and doesn’t miss,
Resting with a hungry stomach,
The Cerberus of the sky,
Waiting for his chance to feast on me,
When I eventually die,
The sleepy dog of hell,
Watching me in this midnight hour,
My mind starts to unsettle,
As fear starts to devour,
I am at the mercy of this beast,
And nobody is able to save me
I have never believed in god,
But the Devil, maybe,
When I noticed this creature,
The wind it did change,
Shiver’s ran down my back,
And things started to feel strange,
It goes deathly quiet,
As the wind dies suddenly,
I am overwhelmed with a feeling,
That something is watching me,
Randomly I hear,
The slightest of distant howls,
I’m all alone in this sleepy concrete jungle,
And Death is obviously on the prowl,
I wish this wasn’t real,
And just a part of a nightmarish dream,
I wish I was able to wake,
But my voice is incapable of scream,
I stand frozen,
Unable to move,
And the pure fear that drowns me,
I cannot remove,
Sleeping dog of hell,
Please don’t take me yet,
The messenger of underworld,
Lord Satan’s pet,
His bright overpowering presence,
Once so keen,
In a heartbeat vanished and gone,
Now to be unseen,
As quick as they did go,
My senses rush back to me,
Confused and concerned,
Of what I did see,
This sleepy dog of hell,
The evilest of Lucifer’s creations,
Informing me of the news,
That my afterlife is damnation,
My story of what happened,
Not one man will believe,
But the angel of darkness don’t mind,
Because his message to me, was strongly received.

This is a genuine photo I took on my iPhone. I have zoomed in, but you could see it in the original photo. I wrote “The Sleepy Dog of Hell” poem based on this photo.
