I walk the path, far into the woods, and suddenly lose my way. Ahead, I sense an energy, one I haven’t felt all day. I see it rising, high above me, covered in moss from the land, and realize I am no longer lost, for this stone shows the path, well planned.

It tells me to journey onward, no need to fear this place; for here is where the spirits dance, how I long to see their face. I marvel at this majestic sight, on a marble slab, it stands; and with its mighty energy, I bow, and clasp my hands.

Allowing those around me, to channel their way through; and thank the kindly forest, for keeping them, here, so true. I best be on my way, I have other places to see; however long it takes me, I have found my energy.

For in this forest, serenity, as the spirits take control; and I shall return, again, one day, for I am one, now, with its soul.

Destroying all they see, with fright

A ziglet of zombies, troll the night

Leaving the town, in chaos and fire

One by one, they fulfill their desire

Of taking down, the one’s so small

They have no sense of being, at all

Pieces of them, they drop on the way

Searching for their next, unwilling prey

Roaming the land, they hunt, pursue…

 

When the dead come to town, they’ll be looking for you…

One problem with mummy man, Lucas
His car, always covered in mucus
Globs of green, all around
Left his mark, quite profound
The town stayed away from this doofus

Didn’t care what everyone did think
All that greasy green sludge, what a stink!
He would throw all this slime
Police named it a crime
Then threw Lucas away, in the brink!

Never saw him again, around town
This chauffeur, now in jail, with a frown
Became quickly unglued
Tense, with disquietude
Poor Lucas, now a pile, on the ground

Setting fire to the midnight sky
She takes off, upon her broom

Halloween, the witch’s right
Tis the hour of certain doom

She leaves her black cat, safe at home
As she flies about, through the clouds

He mews his loudest, atop the dome
She repeats to him, he’s not allowed

This is her night, to release her wrath
Probably better if you stay home, too

For the broom of doom, in its aftermath
Makes you, the main course, for her stew

Curdling Cries – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #poetry

In this house, there is an empty room
Where a lost spirit lingers, and spies
On the only ones, who know she’s there
For they can hear her blood curdling cries

Each night, before the midnight hour
She finds herself, by the panes of glass
Pulling the drapes, aside from the wall
She lets out evil screams, en masse

The only light that shines, is far
So, no one sees her where she stands
And those below, never hear a sound
But she knows much better, firsthand

She is only meant to frighten the ones
Who dwell in this house, once hers
Determined to rid them from her abode
Every night the dreaded sound does recur

Hoping to chase them out of this place
She whispers, eerily, for this is her plight
“Get out, or I will scream forever more”
Nightmares, chase the dreams, outright
