Nightfall
Fog settles in
Hides the land
Shrouding all
With its veil
Eeriness
In the distance
Lights
Through the dark
Each dimmer than
The one before
Shine
Shadows
Take control
Hovering
Ever so slightly
Spirits
Searching
Seeking
A new host
As I stand
Waiting
In the night

These were not just ordinary flowers
Quite peculiar in an eerie sort of way
The more I looked at them, I knew
This wasn’t the place, for me, today
Faces started popping out, before me
Their clown-like grins, made me shiver
How could something so beautiful
Make my whole body quake and quiver!
I took off, down an odd shaped path
Hoping those purple pansies didn’t follow
Saddened, because I had left so quickly
But nothing here could make me wallow
I was afraid, to look over my shoulder
For fear I’d see an evil, floral parade
So, I kept walking, along the odd path
While, in the garden, the flowers stayed
December Writing Prompt – Planter boxes of peculiar looking pansies, lined the odd shaped path – Day 30/31

The House on Grayson Place ~ The Disappearance
Hidden under her veil of black
Coat slung over her shoulder
No one sees her, as she moves about
Her clothes, from days, much older
She holds a scroll, in both her hands
Or is it something else she clasps
She watches, as others drift on by
Still, no one stops and asks
Ms. Grayson, hides in the shadows
Where she will never leave a trace
Laughs, at all the village folk
An evil sneer, still, upon her face

Skeletons do scare
With sinister, leering eyes

It swirls in mysterious clouded skies
In the ebony night, high above, where it flies
Among the heavens, coated with mist
Eerily seeking its unearthly bliss
Illuminating, the blackened space
Where mystical beings remain, untraced
Floating in cosmos, waxing and waning
Till fully encompassing all it’s containing
Mesmerizing our Earthly sights
Keeping watch with its ever ethereal light
