Night Mare

A Poem

By Mother CombsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Nightcafe creation

Wings of black smoke

She comes for me

With outstretched talons

Wanting to grip my face

Staring through me

With her flame-filled eyes

She searches my soul

For a hint of weakness

Her hair was wild

As her spirit was

Her main resolve

To drag me to hell

To serve as her slave

Forever and a day

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Yoikes! A face gripper! 😄 Good one Mother Combs.

  • I'd ever so happily go with her hehehehehe. Loved your poemA

  • Anyone relying upon their own strength to escape Hell rather than grace..., it shouldn't be too hard to find a whole host of weaknesses. (Sorry, just a bit of the pastor escaping me.)
