Title: "Hey It's Halloween"...
Tags: Horror, Poem
Blog Entry: Early in the evening, straight through the black of night Slow churned hours of Halloween, gripped my soul in fright Nibbling on white knuckles, rolled up into a fist Waiting for the risen ones, appearing in the mist Dragging their dead feet across the dew drops on my lawn I know I'll find no peace of mind until November's morn Tapping on my windows, beating thunder on my door Searching in the moon glow entrance at the basement floor "Hey it's Halloween! Why don't you come on out and play? Join the celebration for those of us who passed away Three hundred sixty five full days of hunger and of thirst You know, you should feel special, your the one we thought of first" Searing pain, splintered wood thrust dead hands through my door Quick thawed frozen fear poured down my pant leg to the floor Six inch broken blackened nails sunk deep into my flesh As they quarrel dividing portions I backed up to save the rest Crutching to the banister I make the second landing fall As their pouring through the windows I realize futility in it all So I crouch most patiently a corner of a room Nothing but a bedroom door between me and lusting doom "Before you show us your disgust, then turn your head away Remember in a little while you'd be joining us some day We think you owe some homage to the ones that came before So, simply pay your due respect and twist the handle on the door" "Hey it's Halloween! Why don't you come on out and play? Join the celebration for those of us who passed away Three hundred sixty five full days of hunger and of thirst You know, you should feel special, your the one we thought of first"
