WHAT'S YOUR DISH?

Tired of my warnings

But not yet mourning

maybe a tale of death

would take your breath

Didn't I just fulfill your wish

By providing a tantalizing dish

Love unrequited

Did not end reunited

nightmares, my dear

zombies a capital fear

bats that bite and suck,

witches with pluck

I know all your delights

just tell me your frights

and I'll transpire

your every desire

a tale of horror or two

the goal to inspire

all for you

and your muse too

all for the holiday

so come on out and play.

.MUAHAHAHAHA!

Olly Olly Oxen Free!

Olly olly oxen free. Hide and seek is over. I won. Why won't you appear? Death is no deterrent.

I hear your final words. Nightmares that haunt asleep or awake. You said you'd always love me. I remember your lovely whisper as blood gushed from my first slash on your delicate throat.

You even said you'd forgive me before my blade sank deep into your heart. And as I covered my body with your blood, you promised to always be mine. Forever and always, that's what you vowed.

Did you lie? Have you deceived me? Where are you, my love?

Crazy Faces

A bit silly, you say

but give crazy its sway

there are many ways

to receive my gift

not all are so thrilling

many quite chilling

becoming a goon

howling at the moon

seeing ghosts

watch out

fangs could mark your host

a wart on the nose

belies the hostess with the most

deranged, totally insane

is our sweet plain Jane

but this time of the year

everyone's a bit queer

get ready, dear friends

for all that Halloween portends.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

You'll Do My Bidding

Think I'm kidding

do I look like a fool

don't mess with me

I'll take you to school

the fright is coming

prepare for a dunning

don't delay

a sacrifice may help

muahahahahahah

you stupid welp

you hold no power

but we love your attempt

to keep us at bay

however when we come out to play

the only thing that holds sway

is your soul

the one you'll sell

don't worry, all will be well

for the devil rules

which you'll see 

as  life unfolds!

MUAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, The Fun!

The days count down

my numbers increase

my smile lengthens

and yours decrease

are the signs getting to you

am I making a dent

it's the month of evil

my haven

cheer up, dear one

see what you've won

dancing bones

rotting flesh

or burning alone?

MUAHAHAHAHA!

that tells it all.

Black Magic

When I woke, a blue bottle on the nightstand told me the dream was true.

My lover's pillow was cold. What lie would be told today? I hid the bottle in my pocket and went about my day.

He claimed work kept him but vowed his undying love.

His favorite dinner I served with the blue bottle powder liberally spread. Would he now be my beau or a gargoyle of stone?

He ate, and a declaration of love was made.                           Photo by Donovan Reeves on Unsplash

Nothing changed, and I knew I'd won my man.

Then the full moon rose and a gargoyle I owned.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

DAY " 6 "OF THE HAUNTING

I heard you were bored.

so here you go

you want woe

then read my tale

a story of whoa

A WITCH I SOUGHT

One dark and dreary night

all Hallows Eve

I walked through the forest

no sense of the horror

my love had cheated

a lie he repeated

the pain severe

my destination unclear

but in a clearing

I found

a garden of beauty

forget-me-nots, roses

chyrsthamums

and a gargoyle doing guard duty

all kinds of posies

lifted my spirit

and gave me hope

but the effigies 

filled me with terror

it was truly a sight

still, beauty held my heart

then I noticed

a cabin with smoke curling

my thoughts were swirling

an abode of mystery

 a witch with  history

her advice, I sought

and then I bought

magic in a  bottle 

the sorcerer told me

if true love is your goal,

and your lover's heart is true

only you, he will see

no more will he stray

but if his heart lies

into a hideous gargoyle of stone

will he turn

forever to guard over thee

but never more will he roam.

did my story fulfill your wish

did I serve you a delightful dish

are you curious to see

the result of she

then come back tomorrow

for more sorrow

MUAHAHAHAHA!
