Poem "A Mystery Better Left Alone"

 

 

A Mystery Better Left Alone

By Richard H. Fay

As I undo the rusty latch
Binding this fusty tome,
I eagerly await answers
To arcane questions
Sane folk never dare ask.

Beneath the bound cover,
Within crackling pages
Rendered from human flesh,
I seek to learn forbidden lore,
And solve the riddle of life.

Reading words penned in blood,
Gaining knowledge forsaken by all,
I forfeit my very soul
To resolve a mystery
Better left alone.
