Bloody Portal - Discussion Sources of Inspiration

Bloody Portal

What’s behind the red door?
The night had me restless
no sleep since I heard
that sound.
That eire, strange strangling
coming from across the way,
loud enough to travel
up to my window.
Jumping up and looking out
I saw a crack of light
as the scarlet entry closed.
Was that a foot
I saw dragged inside?
Something sinister stays
within those seemingly normal walls.
The climbing chill sends
me back to the warmth
of my grey down comforter
but slumber
alludes ‘til daybreaks.
