Her spirit lingered, much like the mist that covered the sacred ground of the fallen. They were scattered among the mundane, the ones with no name, who were buried haphazardly among the royals. She was neither. She was free to roam, free to frighten those who thought themselves better. On nights like these, she would make her way out of the graveyard, between the headstones, watching them fall to pieces as she snaked her way through. One touch and she could end them all, but she preferred to play. Callously, entering houses, knocking over fine antiques, without a care, she wreaked her havoc among the living. Children ran, women screamed and men cowered, yet they could not see her, they only felt her wrath as she slipped by. And as the sunlight approached, and darkness began to fade, she would make her way back to her surreptitious place, buried among the dead….

….But this time she wasn’t alone.

 

Should I continue?  Or leave as is?  I’ll let you decide 🙂

Brought about by blackened night

Shadows lurk beyond the light

Causing you to doubt your mind

In your dreams, you seek to find

The open door that’s let them in

The portal where it all begins

Spirits haunting as you sleep

More appear in slumber deep

Wandering about the room

Moaning, in a somber gloom

Yet no one hears them cry but you

You have to wonder what is true

Do these spirits fly among the beings?

Or is this just madness that you’re seeing?

Frosted Shadows

#poetry, cold, dorindaduclos.com, entity, ghosts, light, night, Night Owl Poetry, poems, shadows, spirits, Winter

Frosted windows hide the light

Of shadows moving in the night

You glance to see a face so near

Blink and watch it disappear

This entity is peeking through

Looking, seeking, only you

Making its way o’er the threshold

A spirit lost in winter’s cold

ghosts-572038_960_720Walls 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

#poetry, evil, fantasy, Flashback Friday, Friday Fantasy, fright, ghosts, goblins, Halloween, Night Owl Poetry, poems, pumpkins, skeleton, terror, witches

Blackness fills the sky once bright
Witches, Goblins, Ghosts aflight
Soaring, Shrieking, Spectral Beings
Chasing after Unearthly Dreams

Streaking down across the night
Skeletons fill your Heart with Fright
Rattling, Shaking, Tremulous Twitch
Wicked bones begin to Hitch

Pumpkins Glow with Eerie Light
Fire Dances with Delight
Sauntering, Straying, in your path
Too late to Dodge their Evil Wrath

Moonlight glows across the skies
The Terror grows within Your Eyes
Ghoulish, Haunting, Sinister Sprites
Frightening You this Halloween Night
