Hush Hush
RandiRabid
Oct 2013
Darkness replaces the light
Cautiously I slink through the night
Rolling down my sleeves
As my love for you bleeds
“Hush hush,” you say
“For our love must be secret.”
“Hush hush,” I say
“For we cannot waste our time.”
My chest gets tight
My heart takes flight
Lips on lips
This is what they make movies about
“Hush hush,” you say
“For we must wait.”
“Hush hush.” I say
“For I’ve caught on to your lies.”
Life comes crashing down
Smile turning to frown
Tears rush down my face
This movie is starting to look like a horror film
“Hush hush,” you say
“For I swear I’m true.”
“Hush hush,” I say
“For it’s time for you to go.”
My knife slides up to your throat
While I show you what’s under my coat
Fear shocks your body
A Cheshire smile on my lips
There are no more hushes
How will your lies save you now?
I’ll give you one last lullaby
Now beg for your life
I’ll show you hurt
I’ll show you pain
Let flow what’s keeping us alive
“Hush hush,” I say
“For our love must be secret.”
The last words said before we collapse
There we lay motionless
Eternal Bliss
Cautiously I slink through the night
Rolling down my sleeves
As my love for you bleeds
“Hush hush,” you say
“For our love must be secret.”
“Hush hush,” I say
“For we cannot waste our time.”
My chest gets tight
My heart takes flight
Lips on lips
This is what they make movies about
“Hush hush,” you say
“For we must wait.”
“Hush hush.” I say
“For I’ve caught on to your lies.”
Life comes crashing down
Smile turning to frown
Tears rush down my face
This movie is starting to look like a horror film
“Hush hush,” you say
“For I swear I’m true.”
“Hush hush,” I say
“For it’s time for you to go.”
My knife slides up to your throat
While I show you what’s under my coat
Fear shocks your body
A Cheshire smile on my lips
There are no more hushes
How will your lies save you now?
I’ll give you one last lullaby
Now beg for your life
I’ll show you hurt
I’ll show you pain
Let flow what’s keeping us alive
“Hush hush,” I say
“For our love must be secret.”
The last words said before we collapse
There we lay motionless
Eternal Bliss

The Erl-King
Rangzeb Hussain
Mar 2010
Who is that rides so late in the forest so dark and wild?
It is but a helpless father and his frightened and lonely child,
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
The father cradles his lovely son gently in his arms,
He keeps him snug and he keeps him warm and he keeps him calm,
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“My son, why do you wrap your radiant face in such dread and fear?”
“Mine father, can you not see the Erl-King? He draws ever so near!”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“O father! The Erl-King with his weedy crown and thorns of pain is here!”
“My son, it is nothing more than mist and rain on the plain over there.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“Sweet lad, O come into my jolly lair and join me, do!
Many pretty and joyful games do I promise to play with you.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
On the forest floor the autumn flowers die in the suffocating cold.
“O you dreaming lad, I have for you garments of red silk dyed in gold.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“Mine father, mine father, can you not hear my rising fear?
The Erl-King drips dark promises and breathes in my ear! Help me, father dear!”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“Be calm, stay calm, rest my child, stay easy and keep your head low,
In these withered leaves it is only the night winds that creep and roar.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“My rosy lipped lad, will you come take a merry stroll and dine with me?
My daughters three shall care for you and many wonders will you see.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“My silky daughters of darkness live in yonder castle in shadows deep,
They three will dance and sing and cradle you to the sweetest of sleep.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“Mine father, mine father, O can you not see the red eyes in his fearful face?
The Erl-King’s misty-eyed daughters live in that haunted place!"
The wind blows icy cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“My son, my son, I see the frozen milky moon very clear
And how the ancient weeping willows like castles in the dark do appear.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“O how delicious you smell, my tender innocent succulent boy!
Come off that horse and take these wonderfully coloured bright toys.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
“O father, my father, the Erl-King has seized me by the arm!
His long bony claws crawl toward my heart to do to me hungry harm.”
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
The father whips and rides fast but his warm cottage is away by a mile,
In his arms he holds the groaning, twisting, shivering child,
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
The horse halts outside the family home and the father looks with dread
For his son, his only child, he holds in his arms is now dead!
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Weep quietly as this tragic tale is now all told.
It is but a helpless father and his frightened and lonely child,
The wind blows sharp and cold,
Hush! Listen quietly as this tragic tale is told.
The father cradles his lovely son gently in his arms,
He keeps him snug and he keeps him warm and he keeps him calm,
The wind blows sharp and cold,

A Ghost and a Girl

Hush child let me tell you a tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
There once was a girl
Who believed in the paranormal
And would turn at the slightest sounds in a whirl.
Hush child and listen to my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
She would always turn on a light
To illuminate what lay in the shadows
When she went about in the night.
Hush child and devour my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
Living alone was she
When the darkness sought her out
And attempted to corrupt her psyche.
Hush child, now listen closely to this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
As she left the door to her room
She froze where she stood
As she gazed upon her doom.
Hush child, pay attention to my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
There stood a man in a top hat
Across the hall
He seemed ready for combat.
Hush child, do you hear the truth in my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed?
The man stood across from her
Staring and nothing more
But his dark silhouette was a blur.
Hush child, hear now this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
As they stood there
Watching one another
The girl felt a flair
Hush child, accept my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
The girl took a step back
Closing her door
With a resounding SMACK!
Hush child, for this is my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
The girl was frozen and feeling insecure
Staring at the back of her door
For what she felt was simple and pure.
Hush child, it’s almost over, this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
The man in the top hat
Across the hall
Radiated evil, pure and simple as that.
Hush child, the end is near of this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
She stood staring at the door in her room
Never wanting to leave again
For fear of having an early tomb.
Hush child, give ears to this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
There once was a girl
Who believed in the paranormal
And would turn at the slightest sounds in a whirl.
Hush child, just listen to the tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
She would always turn on a light
To illuminate what lay in the shadows
When she went about in the night.
Hush child, this ends my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
She lives in fear of the ghost
For she knows he will return
When she thinks she is safe the most.
Hush child, do you believe my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed?
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
There once was a girl
Who believed in the paranormal
And would turn at the slightest sounds in a whirl.
Hush child and listen to my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
