I'VE ALWAYS LOVED TREES

 I’VE ALWAYS LOVED TREES

So beautiful as they sway in the breeze

like skeleton hands

using the language of the deaf

reminds me of Jeff

the man hung until his death

it wasn’t quick

but mr slick

got what he deserved

outmaneuvered by women

his skin, now thin like linen

those he denigrated in life

he couldn’t fight in death

on Halloween night

at 12:01 AM

the souls he stole

made quick work of that fool.

Muhahahaha!

Pay Attention

My back might be turned.

no need for concern

I'm observing

as I always do

the many victims

that'll get their due

are you one of them

have you heeded my warning

or will all Hallows Eve

find you're one of them!

MUAHAHAHAHA!

SIREN'S SONG

I hear the siren's song and long to be in my lover's arms.

She haunts me on land and sea. Beautiful, sultry, and true. Kisses that taste of honey. A body that gives all and more.

The siren tempts my soul with sweet promises, the serenity of a tropical island. Blue skies, fruit, and fish prepared just so and vows that she'll always be at my sexual beck-n-call.

However, I've heard a rumor. Once my beauty's satisfied, I'll be put out to pasture until dinner's next call.

Seriously, though, I'm wholly against being on the menu after just one ball.

SWEET KISSES

 

She's beautiful, so sweet

enticing, exciting

a woman to behold

to worship

to take home

to make her your own

but it's Halloween

is she truly your queen

remember, this is the night

 truth is masked

personalities hidden

nothing's forbidden

do you dare

make your move

take a chance

she may choose you

instead of the prince

trying to convince her

with gold and frankincense

oh, look, you've caught her eye

still, she played shy

but you've won the night

and quickly took flight

at midnight

finally isolated

her kiss was all yours

in her arms, you were clasped

under her power, finally cast

she literally sucked you dry

not blood, but breath and life

she came away more beautiful

you came away re-usable

a plant stand

wow, what a man

I'd say you've won

a heavenly death

better than a gun

in the arms of love

there's nothing sweeter

than the kiss

of a succubus man-eater

MUAHAHAHAHA!

Don't Judge

These items belong to me

do they frighten thee

you should see my collection of knives

but hey, I'm like most housewives

with just a hint of horror

although my hobby most abhor

the exploration of black magic

gives me such a kick

if death does occur

well, it's doesn't deter

it's something I can fix

with the help of the demon Stix

if I give her the soul,

the human begins to droll

in essence, they're back

it's no hack

works every time

no harm, no crime

where do you think

ghouls are made

but I must admit

the numbers have climbed

all these soulless influencers

are truly the offense

maybe it makes sense

to call all those

narcissistic ghouls back home

no more to roam.

MUHAHAHAHA

You Can't Hide

I've found your abode. It didn't take long. Your heavenly scent was easily followed.

A lovely Victorian. I was shocked it was hidden so deep in the woods. Please come out, my dear. The night is so beautiful. The moon is high, and my hunger for you grows.

Don't fear. I could never hurt you. You'll be a queen. You'll sit at my right hand and be mother to our young whelps.

We met by chance, but our coupling is blessed. Please, dear heart, come to the door. Don't make me huff and puff and blow your lovely house down!

Did you expect it this time?

A drabble instead of a rhyme?

I'll even the score

just me and my

ravens, forevermore.

DANGEROUS

Say it girls

he's definitely dangerous

so handsome

so sly

just right

for a bawdy night

but do we dare

will his fangs flare

will we end up

just part of his lair

we all want top billing

not a killing

to be held in his arms

away from all harm

to be kissed so deeply

there is no beginning 

 no end

his touch would be magical

not tragical

for surely he's real

and not out for a kill

just look at that face

not a trace of mean

but oh dear, it is Halloween.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

 SCARED

It's just an old house

what do you fear?

a mouse

or the ghost of the house

she wanders in the dark

from dusk till dawn

does she say boo

no, she says shoo

you're disturbing her home

the one she roams

so get off your phone

and leave them alone

or you'll be the ghoul

without a soul

for this season

gives them powers

beyond reason

Halloween

makes beautiful ladies mean.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

You Are Warned!

You see the sign

it's not benign

we gave fair warning

but now you're mourning

yet it was your choice

made with your voice

"I want to be scared!"

that's why our notice fails

you won't listen

you fall for all that glistens

we love to please

always try to appease

as we lead you deeper

we're now your keeper

blood is our nectar

bones our specter

we enslave a body

and embody your soul

so now that you're schooled

still want to meet the ghoul

of course, you do

especially after drinking

our special brew.

drink up

drink up

the hour is near

never fear we'll be here.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

It's Getting Dark

Can you see my scowl

It's quite foul

 never goes away

even during the day

there's a reason

for all seasons

I'm patient

and very sure

you and I

we have a date

and I'm never late

it's your fate!

LIFE IS DEATH

You thought I lied

I'm only opening your eyes

but see those numbers

it's no time to slumber

we're coming for you

me and my crew

an invasion of evil

a world in upheaval

will you laugh or cry

or simply sigh

ignore my theme

or will you scream

anything's possible

this season of dreams

time to prepare

fulfill all desires

expose the terrifiers

they won't win

fun isn't a sin

so take a breath

life is death

when winter leaves

it's spring we bring

it's a harvest ball, after all.

DAY "13" OF THE HAUNTING

Paraskevidekatriaphobia

"Do you want to go alligator hunting today?" Greg asked his wife.

Shanna smiled. "You realize it's Friday the 13th."

"I've promised for months now. Besides, you aren't paraskevidekatriaphobia. But if you'd rather wait until next week. I'll consider taking next Friday off, too."

"Are you kidding? I'm not superstitious. I consider the 13th my lucky day. I'm game, let's go. We've been here for a year, and I still haven't seen one, but they're always in the news. I'll get Charlie's lease if you'll get the camera. It's on the table in the den."

*****

Shanna wandered around the apartment in a daze, then the doorbell rang. After she accepted the delivery of Dahlia Yellow Star, she recalled the last twenty-four hours in detail, and the tears flowed like the water from the spigot.

It wasn't the shock of Greg's death hitting her so hard but the uncalled-for accusations from the detective investigating what he called a brutal murder.

Would he apologize after he viewed the film, or would he still want to prosecute her to the full extent of the law? What a rude bigot of a man, she thought.

When he claimed she had hyperbolized the horrific details of her husband's death. Shanna wanted to knock the dull gold tooth from his mouth. Thank goodness she thought better of it and instead handed her camera to the young lady beside him.

"This shows the exact details of what happened. And nothing I've said was hyperbole. I hand this to you because obviously your youth and gender will ensure a different outcome than what this," she looked at the startled detective, "Neanderthal is hoping for."

Shanna stood. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to make arrangements for Charlie."

"Don't you mean Greg and Charlie?" the Neanderthal asked.

"No. That film will prove my husband tried to feed me to that beast. I'll call Jenny. Apparently, she wanted him. He's all hers, well, what's left of him. If not for Charlie...well, you'll see."
