It rides on horse with crimson eyes
Cleaved head its eternal quest
Hades resurrected, for centuries tries
Avenging soul the Devil blessed
.
By night the Hollow, Hell on earth
Onerous task in this Sleepy land
Demon slaughters for all its worth
Child and woman and man
.
Raise its head from unmarked grave
A task of a gruesome sort
Ne’er resting until craniums been saved
Ensure the wrath of the apocalypse four
.

YES. This is a lovely tribute to the Four Horseman. I’m sorry; I’m a huge fan of the Apocalypse and the four horseman in particular, and you’ve captured the idea brilliantly.
Very nice work, Dom.
I’m not crazy, btw. I’m just fond of…esoteric mythologies.
I don’t think you are crazy at all, I like very much the same thing. Thanks for the terrific compliment.
Reblogged this on The Arkside of Thought and commented:
“And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat upon it was called Death, and Hell followed with him.”
One of my favorite quotes of all time.
Check out Dom’s latest. There are volumes spoken here from ages dead and gone; relevant to today with all the war and suffering. Check it out.
Sahm, thank you very much for the reblog, you have been a terrific supporter of my writing and I appreciate it a great deal. :)
Anytime Dom. :) You write some pretty great stuff. And some like it dark however they can get it. :D Seriously, though, you’re friggin’ brilliant.
Thanks my friend, more darkness to come. :)
Heck yeah! :D
Thank you Sahm, I had so much fun writing this one.
Loved the atmosphere of the poem. Very creepy and dire.
Thank you very much Charles, this one just popped into my head out of nowhere.
Have to admit that I love tales of the Four Horsemen for some reason. I’m working on creating a variation of them for Windemere.
They really represent the ultimate terror, I with you an having a love for them.
Ichabod Crane says hi!
Scary stuff.
Thanks my friend, I was waiting to hear from him. :)

Woke up and did not refrain
To escape on Jet Plane!
I love it! Thanks my friend. :)
Legend of sleepy hollow told brilliantly. And the four horsemen tied in very well. Reminds me of a flash fiction piece I wrote a while back called Four. Feel free to drop by any time and look at it or just stroll around my dark imagination. Anyway, just had to say I love this piece and look forward to seeing what else you’ve come up with.
Keep inspiring
Thank you very much, I will absolutely stop by and take a look at it, and thanks again for the support it is always appreciated.
Spooky – a good pre- Halloween piece. Cool writing!
Well it is that time of year, I think I will do a few more before the month is out. Thank you my friend. :)
Please do. Get down with your funky bad ghoulie self!!
More on the way! :)
Yippidy!
:)
Brilliant! Can’t wait to see what else you’ll do for the season. :)
Thank you very much, there definitely will be more this month, I’m having fun with it. :)
