Skeletons do scare

With sinister, leering eyes

When October ends

ghosts-572038_960_720
Walls that slant in faded light

Specter’s roam about the night

Shadows stand in open doors

Footsteps creak across the floors

Thinking this is just a dream

Things just aren’t what they seem

Figures lurk about your home

Now you see you’re not alone

Taunting you until you scream

Trick or treat, it’s Halloween

Her Bleeding Heart – #poetry

dark-1091017_960_720
Mood, faded blue with endless time
Her heart ripped away, a hideous crime

Emotion, dead, from deep within
No longer feeling, the price of a sin

Gone are the days, she felt him near
Now banished is she, no longer dear

He split her apart, it took its toll
Left an empty heart, and a broken soul

He fled, into the dark of night
Leaving her shrouded, in the misty light

Shaken, she stands, feelings uncaring
Red, is the blood, so overbearing

Torn, in silence, overwrought
Her bleeding heart is life, distraught

sorceress-539681_960_720
With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2016, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday.  I am taking the day to relax and enjoy.  I’ll be sure to save you some cake  🙂
