Was in a bit of a Halloween mood...


This Accursed Night

I wait in silence as so much light
fades away by the dark streams
about to flood the sky,
so that the world
(or part thereof)
would be informed as to
the break of night,
when the moon and stars
dance across the sombrous sky....

But tonight..
the joyous occasion of
the celestial tango
shall not be displayed
as their wondrous iridescence
is swallowed by the black holes
of Hell.

On this accursed night
of All Hallow's Eve,
the night of death and darkness
where the demons run free,
painting the town scarlet,
all good that we know
shall be destroyed.

The pointed hat on her head...
the black dress flows down her bodice...
the pumpkin bucket in her hand...
she's ready for a night of frolic.

Unaware of her surroundings,
she goes out for an evening of enjoyment.
Young and innocent she remains,
becoming a target for old Queen Crimson.

Her blood,
fresh and virgin,
splatters the street and Countess.
The Mistress of Youth,
her skin renewed,
stands in her glory
more beautiful than ever.

The air is filled with
the putrid scent emanating
from the corpses,
limp and cold..
their night of enjoyment
has turned for the worse,
as Lucifer's minions
prowl around the world
for just one more night.

The spirits of the past murderers
return for their night of glory.
.....Bloody Mary.....
.....Jack the Ripper.....
.....the Bloody Countess.....
another chance for them
to live up to their
bloody legends,
they scour the streets,
their ravenous souls consuming
all on their path.

The cards have been dealt
by the devil's crafty hands..
the souls of the innocent,
gone too soon,
shall rest in peace.

Engulfing the air
are the piercing screams,
stopping just as abruptly
as their lives.
the bitter bodies spread
through the street,
soaked with the flamboyancy
of esteem,
as the maniacal thirsts
of the royal majesties
have been quenched
for one more time.

So on this accursed night
of All Hallow's Eve,
the night of death and darkness
where the demons run free,
painting the town scarlet,
the world is flooded
by the bloody targets.........




........................who will be next?
