O YE OF LITTLE FAITH

O Ye of Little Faith

You call us cute

but we stay mute

we’re more than you imagine

spells we cast with abandon

don’t cross our path

or ill will you’ll have

all your days through

she might be the witch

but we’re the true bitch

so don’t dimiss

for I’ll get my wish

death won’t be sweet

as daily you’ll repeat

the disaster we fashion

for Halloween is our passion!

Muhahahahaha!

UNBURIED

UNBURIED

The nights are chill

the days, hotter than hell

my bones ache

all due to a pesky snake

and the soil is never dry

at least there are no more flies

but the comfort of a grave

it’s all so depraved

to be unburied

but it’s definitely better than being married!

Muhahahahaha!

SWIPE RIGHT

SWIPE RIGHT

It was a Halloween dating site

when handsome, despite the mask

caught my attention

foregoing all inhibition

he was the one

our first night would be nothing but fun

I was right

it was a Halloween to remember

Mr. Handsome, so easy to dismember

and dinner for all my guests

just so delicious

and oh-so-nutritious.

Muahahaha!

Tagline: It's Halloween. Make sure you aren't dinner.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

SEANCE

SEANCE

Candlelight flickers

a few novices snicker

flowers offer comfort

a reminder of summer

the medium enters

takes a seat at the center

no smile is offered

even after mine is proffered

Halloween she says

a night of spirit play

will their presence

be an answer to prayer

or will you all become

their prey.

Muahahaha!

AN ANGEL

AN ANGEL

I know an angel

of earthly fame

many seek her confidence

 

life is tough

living can become rough

this angel understands

 

many lose hope

but her light's bright

her words pure

 

this angel

with a heart so true

offers love and advice

 

recognized truth

means sorrow

disappears

 

promise returns

her magic works

happy folks

 

all recognize

her blessing

God's messenger of love

 

the restorer

of damaged souls

this holy vessel of perfection

 

but she knows sorrow

and immense pain

more profound than most

 

suffering despite

her heavenly calling

her beauty shines from within

 

and still

she gives all

despite her grief

 

this spiritual being

a guardian angel

of hope.
