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

Their Final Goodbye – #poetry – #spirits – #NaPoWriMo

A candle lit, for empty tombs

An angel watches over gloom

Sheds her light in darkness, shine

Let spirits wander, not to pine

From out their corpse, they will flee

Their search, to find serenity

To rest their weary, ghostly form

To rise above the laden storm

Of humans, wandering, so lost

Who vilify, but at what cost?

Then drown their sorrows, lest repent

The blaming of, they don’t relent

They look away, and do not hear

Laments of those, so filled with fear

But they who wander, do not stay

They dare not waste another day

Instead they fly, their spirit, high

No longer tethered, they breathe a sigh

Autumnal colors,
Russet and red,
Draped in a cape,
That covers her head.

She tucks inside,
The golden locks of hair,
Her mama told her,
To never bare.

A mist forms around her, ever so,
There, in the forest, unafraid, though.

They envelop her,
In a magical dance,
She smiles, happily,
This is not happenstance.

Knowing it is they,
Who come to call,
Every November,
Near the end of fall.

And this child awaits, ever patiently, their arrival,
For she counts on them, for her very survival…

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!
