Two Moons A Schloss & What Dwells Within!

Dedicated to twin moon gazers!

 



The sch-loss stands proud by the sea,
Two huge moons illuminate what be,
Be by way of a fantasy,
And many secrets soon to be free....

Free from the imprisoning sch-loss walls,
Where darkness reigns and stalls,
Stalls the freedom of women in veils,
And all that perpetual darkness hails...

Hails the thunder of a raging storm brewing,
Within the sch-loss walls not for viewing,
Tormented souls who lost their way sailing,
Taken prisoner as they were fish culling...

Culling for food to sustain their lives,
Sailors who never got home to wives,
Devoured by vampires dwelling there in hives,
But in vain they wait for what never arrives...

Arrives to rescue their mortal souls,
From the resident blood thirsty ghouls,
Beyond comprehension not taught in schools,
Their imagination running amok against the rules...

Rules which dictate that they must be detained,
Their hearts and souls forever stained,
By their doom and despair hardly sustained,
So weak are they and mercilessly drained...

Drained of a former past existence,
Seeking salvation in their mortal essence,
Wanting to be free of vampirical evil presence,
If only it were possible to prevail in omnipresence!
