She found herself

In this unearthly place

Felt his presence

Chill her face

Watched the mist

Against the ground

Rise, then fall

Without a sound

Could this be illusion?

A trick, not a treat

He’s slowly surrounding

Himself, at her feet

Feeling the tug

She realizes fast

As he pulls her under

With a sinister grasp

H ow the dark of night devours

A ll souls who gather near

L onging to reach their destiny

L iving, yet no longer here

O therworldly, seeking shadows

W hen the light of day resigns

E ver frightening in their disguise

E phemeral glow ignites their eyes

N onphysical spirits, at midnight, shine

Harrowing screams, footsteps aflight

Shattering darkness, piercing the night

People running, ahead of the pack

Children crying, don’t look back

 

Fleeing from creatures, eyes aglow
Wolf like features, purely foe

 

Fast as you can, get away from this town

Devouring all, they will never back down

They never let go, no, they growl with delight

Eerily howling, under pale moonlight

The colors of midnight, purple and blue

The crimson of roses, vibrant and true

Blackening skies against red petals, deep

Clouding my judgement, as I slip into sleep

Lost in a fantasy, dreams float away

In a fragrance that once held the meaning of day

Try as I might, I cannot awaken

Through blackness, in dreams, my soul is taken

door
Blood stained hands, behind the door

Tell a tale, of life, no more

Never shall they see the light

Scared to death, they screamed, affright

Tried to free themselves, in vain

Never to be free again

Guarded by unearthly ghouls

Maybe this is April Fool’s

No, it’s October, all Hallows soon

When the spirits are again attune

To capture next, their earthly prey

Steal the human souls, away

But humans push back, try to run

They don’t consider this much fun

Against the door, their bodies heave

Try as they may, they still can’t leave

Locked inside this hellish glass

Together, remaining, forever, en masse
