Take flight, across the fullest moon

Watch as creatures swoop, and swoon

Seek out their journey, ride the wind

Then pause a moment, do not rescind

The thoughts, which carry you away

Take heed, as branches begin to sway

Along with the breeze, they gently fly

Dance with the night, let time go by

Forget the sorrows, gone, yesterday

Send them all packing, to the Milky Way

The glow of the light, shines through the dark

Though life is, often led by, a question mark

Gives comfort, to those who fear in the night

An escape, wings spread, exhale, take flight

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!

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  BE SAFE!

Unhuman in the darkness

Stare in defiance

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are Dig and Grave.  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Shadorma, my synonyms are Unearthed and Crypts.


Empty crypts

This All Hallows Eve

Ghouls afoot

And gloom reigns

When restlessness is unearthed

Exposing evil

Come What May – #poetry – #WOTD

Lost, and long forgotten times

Left me in a place uncertain

Naïve, was I, within my mind

Noticing not, would be my burden

False accusations, unfiltered words

Lead to a heart filled with anger

A barrage of absurdities, came at me, in herds

Much like the bells, tolling, such clangor

I never was that good at reading wrongs

It is something I am faced with everyday

Still, lessons learned, have made me strong

A way I shall live with, come what may
