Gargoyle

Gargoyle

water boils

fire flickers

carver toils

Chisel the creature

of the shadows

looking down so

grimaced and still

there's a chill

in the air all around

where he sits

up on the crown

of darkness

and the night ahead

Laughing at

the sunlight dead

perched with his wings

folded under

clawed and curled up

as he waits

for the bait

You sit and ponder

as he captivates your gaze

wandering down a windy maze

by the marble stone walls

it’s because you've stonewalled

and he growls your way

Flickering fire, lighting rays

all ablaze

in darker days...

that’s the Gargoyle’s way
