They gathered, on this magical night

Beings, made of glowing light

Scattered round the castle keep

Awakening those, once fast asleep

Their deepest desires, to return, the plan

Back to the fortress, where it all began

To once again grace, the place they did roam

Where spirits had played, in deep catacombs

Disenchanted by those, who chased them away

Enamored with others, who dare let them stay

Amidst the fog and full moon light

A house glows red with demonic delight

Terror reigns from deep within

Fills the air with a piercing din

Spirits roam the darkened grounds

Shrilling, shrieking, sounds abound

Horror shakes the shrouded land

That hides this fortress, once so grand

Haunting, against the black of night

Demons feast on earthly fright

Sickly Sweet ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

Halloween, it’s trick or treat

Does that make it sickly sweet?

Would you prefer a devilish trick?

Or perhaps a marshmallow on a stick

Beware the goblins chasing ghosts

They’ll scare you out of your earthly host

Perhaps it’s better to just stay in

Away from all the spirited din

Remember, keep your doors shut tight

And turn on all the outside lights

Watch for witches, and green-eyed cats

And of course, those skeletons, riding bats

Beware of those who come your way

Unfriendly beings are not sweet today

Climb aboard, it’s very late

The bus arrives for you

Ghouls are here, to guide your way

And a ghostly quartet, too

Enjoy the ride, it’s cozy inside

Nothing to fear, nor frighten

Zombies make your trip quite nice

While goblins surely delight in

Watching you squirm about your seat

They say the trip is almost done

But the bus keeps going, no end in sight

Boo! This is what they call fun!

#TBT ~ Darkness Prevails – #poetry #dark

Hidden where the spirits loom

Their shelters torn and tattered

Ethereal beings meet their doom

Lost souls about are scattered

Perched upon her marble tomb

Her body broken, battered

No pleasure left, all consumed

A life once whole, now shattered

In the dank and misty gloom

The shadow of a figure lies….

 

….Darkness prevails when an angel dies
