Superstition
Friday the 13th, and dark clouds rise
There is superstition in her eyes
Will she venture out and test the fates
Or hide behind her iron gates
Her lover left, he won't return
She thinks the gypsy queen will bring him back
Magic spells she can't discern
Her superstition is right on track
On...

while she forecasts snowstorms on the way
In between a tornado or two
just to make you...

Step Into My Voodoo DreamI am the Voodoo Queen, draped in mystic skies,
Where moonlight whispers and shadows lie.
Beneath my veil, the arcane hums,
The pulse of the midnight, where the serpent drums.
Call me a witch, a name well-worn,
Where magics bloom, and curses are born.
But know this truth, as old as the sea:
There is more to my craft than what eyes...

Young Wild ChasmTake of a turn of three
time to talk of penumbra tales
beneath a taramond tree
trials and wailings of two lives in the vale
The life of young from it infancy
thence gradual, conventional neither fantasy
the sweetest of them all to behold
incomparable to an undelectable life of old
The sun and snow that oldlings won't deign
in them, we striplings all...

A Halloween ProposalLet's dance for the dead,
In beautiful nightmares,
And together we create the most eccentric tragic story,
No one has foreseen,
Will you be my Vampire?

GhostThe graffiti covers it.
On the wooden steps, I sit.
Written on the walls are evil smiles.
I haven’t seen anything so scary in a while.
So as October wore on,
I would walk past that building at dawn.
I would step on a leaf.
And felt a sense of grief.
This building is empty, I...

Halloween HangoverUnsettling it was
came from where
I did not know,
the jagged claw upon
my chamber floor
so near the cot
where I nightly lay,
have dreamed so snug
feeling quite secure,
sharpest at the edges
capable of tearing flesh
and bone, my innards
deep
how could this hideous
thing unbeknownst stealthily
creep --
perhaps always near
I shuddered to think
somewhere attached to
my spirit long ago -- a
thought too...

Spooky the NightSpooky the night;
Ghosts are even contrite
Continually drifting round the hound.
Pumpkins have found
A dark body to walk them around
While monsters walk the streets.
The pounding of the brisk wind beats.
Frighten Cuckoo bird under a nightshade hood.
Red eyes hover round the woods.
Bats fly round, waking the dead.
Soil moves, while coffins...

An Unholy Christmas Mash UpThe snow lay thick; the snow lay flat
Upon my roof, a pitter pat
A reindeer or an alley cat?
Sure ain’t Santa… can’t be that
For midnight came and midnight went
So, clearly Santa wasn’t sent…
Who pitter patters as they go
Upon a roof that’s thick with snow
It seems my Christmas gift this year
Is gonna cost me very dear
The sounds...

The haunted house
12 am midnight hour
Felt uneasy, confusing! How suddenly I lost my power
Went for shower my nervere on edge
Knock knock ! A warning or a pledge
Suddenly my gaze met mirror reflecting my face
A creepy whisper "pretty" from unknown place
My spine shivered , body got numb
Took knife on my hold...

October’s ChildBorn in the breath of woodsmoke and fire,
I learned early to love the art of falling.
Leaves tumble like poorly kept secrets,
trees strip down without shame -
modesty’s for summer, after all.
October hums with rebellion:
bonfires blaze, sunsets bleed,
and the wind, cheeky as ever,
slips its cold fingers into every undone button.
History rattles here -
200 years since Waterloo fell...

The Battle for All Hallowsspring morning glory loudly shivers while in quiet vine
the army of pumpkins herald the winter to come
night creatures do not belong in the spring light
steals the summer for the pumpkins reign
draculean teeth, werewolves claw - bullets to wreak havoc
witches storm with magic breath harvests springs renewal
spring takes the yoke of destruction foreign to its nature

Dream Within A Dream Within A DreamA moon-lit day
End of Fall
The Sun an unseen presence
Far down south-west
Behind some silver cloud
Maples showering gold
On a lengthening walkway
Lovely as the Milky Way
A young couple in embrace
On a lonely bench
Hush, hush, silent speech
Tip-toe vagrant breeze
A teenage cutie
In Halloween fancy
Of rainbow hues
Floats her way
Did the trees around
Send her down
With their sliding leaves?
Time in lethargy
The skies in...

The Hole StoryThe pumpkins placed upon the steps
To set a scary mood
Were attractive both to look at
And to squirrels, too, as food.
At first, they nibbled here and there
But then were on a roll
And chewed their way inside
Via an ever-growing hole.
On every pumpkin (there were four),
These entries could be found
And seeds or some discarded bits
Were scattered on the...
