The place where silence had a voice

Called to mind, but not by choice

The one she knew, who she was

Now no clue, and just because

Her life had left her, far behind

Harsh words, unsaid, so unkind

Failed her, in her darkest hours

Waited, as her heart grew sour

No noise was heard, as she spoke

No words uttered, nor evoked

The silence, had taken her last chance

No doubt, this was not happenstance

For she knew who caused this to occur

The one they called “The Saboteur”

Silent, every word, spewed madness

Her heart, overflowed, with sadness

No way to break him, this grim reaper

She knew he’d find a way, to keep her

Desolate, lies the body of William
No one knows he’s there, but him
Erected a marker, on a whim
By light of a candle, growing dim

Full moon tilts his head and smiles
Knows about William, and his wiles
Certainly, not a man who beguiles
But, one with tribulations, and trials

A lonely grave, its marker shines
With no one there, to grieve nor pine
This unknown man, created a shrine
In his name, not yours, nor mine

Alas, poor William, no one knew
He left this Earth, for a moment or two
Now flies about, his mind askew
This count of darkness, his evil, true.

Seduced by her beauty, but never knew why
Her vision would taunt him, til the day he’d die
Thousands of time, in the course of an hour
Hester would visit, in visions quite dour
She spoke to his heart, he heard every word
He thought himself mad, then thought it absurd
Harold was never much of lady’s man, not he
He never dated, nor married, nor had a family
It didn’t occur to him, why this would be
The sight of sweet Hester, had caused misery
How no one would ever match her, the magic
When Harold found Hester had gone, how tragic
Left him for another, she disappeared in the night
Leaving the poor man, alone, with his plight
Soon, she returned, to again, start her seduction
He had to deal with his heart, her destruction
He turned her away, this act, quite condemning
And so it began, the haunting of Harold Hemmings

She was dressed in a flowing gown of white, but there was nothing chaste about her; chained, her hands, to links of gold, she is the devil’s own, his saboteur. Fires blazed from her wings, as demons came to seek; the ones who dared to get too close, are made weaklings, ever meek. Her bindings, wrapped around a pole, each with a trio of skulls; snakes and scorpions at her feet, she’d been rejected, a mere cull. She would not settle for second best, she vowed to prove them wrong; unleashing her quite evil wrest, defeated those, so strong. For the skulls that clung so near her, fastened to the wooden pole; are the heads of those who cast her out, twas where she drowned them, in the shoal. So if at night, you hear a sound, a terrifying clink; take shelter far away from here, she’s found release, from the edge of the link.

Friends till the end, forever, they cried
On the battlefield, beaten, tis when they died

Now locked together, by their own man-made chains
Only problem about them, was neither had a brain

You’d think by now, they would know how to break
The bindings around them, how much could it take?

But emotions ran high, and soon they did fight
Yelling at each other, all day and all night

When one would go left, the other went right
Things got so nasty, the neighbors took flight

Then the Devil himself, called them to him
Demanded they behave, and then, on a whim

He decided the two, must forever stay
The way they came to him, on that fateful day

And he went a step further, making sure he was clear
No more arguing nor fighting, or they’d disappear

But that wasn’t the only thing that made them cranky
He named one of them Clinky, and the other one, Clanky
