I don’t need
To don a costume
Or paint my face
With vampiric
Ghoulishness
I’ve already spent
The year
As the epitome
Of drear
So there’s no need
For today’s foolishness
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I don’t need
To don a costume
Or paint my face
With vampiric
Ghoulishness
I’ve already spent
The year
As the epitome
Of drear
So there’s no need
For today’s foolishness
As I lie here lamenting
My own demise
Please enjoy
This Halloween reprise
🎃
Body Snatchers
Far more terrifying
Than any soul left behind
Are the ghouls
Who camp out permanently
In the corners of my mind

The Scottish Lair
Six
feet
under
All dark
and
gloomy
When
a small
voice
whispers
‘Welcome roomie…’

Portent
There is no reprieve
For those who venture outside
As on All Hallows’ Eve
There’s nowhere to hide

I’ve
often
been
trickedIn
my
lifeBut
rarely
ever
been
treatedSo
it
shouldn’t
beAny
wonder
reallyWhy
I always
sound so
defeated
There’s no reprieve
For those who venture outside
As on All Hallows’ Eve
There’s nowhere to hide
Those
piercing
eyesThat
matte
black
beakI wonder
what
secrets
you
would
yieldIf
only
you
could
speak
All this blood
All that gore
I mustn’t spill
Too much more
Wide
awake
night
after
night
screaming
at the
ghostly
twilight
trying
with all
of my
might
to summon
the courage
to continue
the fight
