This knight
Summoned, chosen
By the light of the moon
Knows chivalry does not falter
Nor die
***
Instead
His mighty stance
Shows determination
Dauntless, he and his loyal steed
Trust faith

Enticed
She climbs the steps
Daring the fates, unknown
White candles flicker, beckoning
Seduced
This fire, out of her control
Burns deeply in her soul
She falls victim
Betrayed

Ghoulish creature in full moon light
Eerily stalking you, in ebony night
No longer hidden, the Hunter’s Moon glows
Lighting the way, with terror, he shows
A hideous face, with a sickle in hand
His quest for you, most carefully planned
Watching and waiting, he stares in the dark
Empty eyes gazing, he’s leaving his mark
Quivering soul, he’s gotten into your head
Wearing you down, no escape from the dead

Perched up high, upon a branch
In the forest, dark and scary
The owl waits for his next prey
Though his mistress, quite contrary
She sits inside, in black of night
By the window, where she eyes
Creatures scurrying about the grass
And much to her surprise
One comes closer, just enough
So the door, she opens wide
Watches as it makes its way
Unsuspecting, now inside
The cauldron boils and bubbles
As the witch begins to chortle
“Trick or treat, my tasty one
It’s time for my nightly mortal”

She is the darkness that glows in the night
A beautiful bird against the full moon light
Sisterly love, she admires, from afar
Elegance floats, while she stands, char
Ebon as midnight, only pale skin aglow
Standing in shadows, afraid to show
Frozen, she is quiet, still, like a stone
Hoping the others won’t see her alone
But sight of her they do, indeed, espy
They hiss and they trumpet, a loud outcry
A warning to the guards, in the castle keep
Who send her away, and she silently weeps
