The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!
In The Time of Winter
by A.F. Stewart
This is our season of winter,
as the frigid snowfall reigns
against the howl of wolves
Come cry with us,
Come weep our sorrow,
bleeding in the bane of hope
We roar her name,
Oh, Death, oh Death
and she manifests from storm
beyond the surge of icy dismay.
Pale and cruel, but our salvation;
eternal breath of glacial fragments,
born in the haze of haunted days
She is the wraith of totality
last judgement of the infernal,
unending lies of our wicked
She has come…
In this age of winter,
as the frigid snowfall reigns
