Sad expressions for eternity on frozen faces.
Actual tears mark their frosty cheeks.
Beneath the music and gaiety,
lies an undercurrent of evil.

WHO GOES THERE?
What lies hidden beneath End House?
Familiar faces & bony countenances.
A cacophony of moans & sounds.
A community of creatures living in the tunnels.
Friends who might be returning to the living,
Or the living who might be joining The Dead.

HE LIGHTS MY FIRE
He lights my fire
to take me higher.
The town’s on fire,
set by the sire.
He comes tonight
for the big fight.
He comes for me
from the dark sea.

PREY FOR THE DEAD
PREY FOR THE DEAD
by Susanne Leist
The Florida coast is beautifully evoked by water that ‘shimmered in alternating shades of azure and cerulean blue’ and ‘the scent of zinnias and lavender’ that ‘permeated the gentle wind.'”–Kirkus Reviews

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
The sun will shine again.
You will stroll with a friend.
Colorful flowers will take bloom.
Normality will be back soon.

PLAY ME
Can my words soothe your dark soul?
Can my love ease the pain of night?
Try me.
Play me.

The waves echo your name.
The flowers carry your scent.
The breeze whispers your secret.
Your destiny awaits.

PASSIONS BURN HOT
Passions burn hot in Florida
as sizzling as a summer day
beneath the scorching sun.

I MUST CHOOSE
Confused I may be,
I can’t set him free.
He has me in his thrall,
but I refuse to fall.
After I shut my eyes for the night,
it’s his face I see in the dim light.

YOU WILL BE MINE
I want to taste your sweet nectar
and lose myself in your fragrance.
Your blood will be mine
as I pluck you from the vine.

He might be in disguise.
I recognize his eyes.
He has come back for me.
He’ll never set me free.

TIME STANDS STILL
The Dead arrive
in the dark of night.
Time stands still.
Birds take flight.
I’ve had my fill
of demons in the night.

SILENCE REIGNS SUPREME
Silence reigns supreme.
The sun hides its face.
Palm trees shake their leaves.
Winds quicken their pace.
The hotel stands deserted.
Flapping sounds fill the air.
Dark shadows join the fray
beneath his icy stare.

A WALK ON THE DARK SIDE
He’ll come on the full moon.
He will be with me soon.
Dare I leave the light behind
And join him on the dark side?

COLORS OF LOVE
Green, blue, and pink.
Red for the sparkling eyes.
A little orange at its toes.
A blue belly for laughs.
A green body for hiding.
Colors of the rainbow.
Colors of love.
Colors of life.
QUEEN OF THE DEAD
The coldness wraps around me.
My hair drips icicles down my neck.
I shiver in dread of my future.
My future as the queen of The Dead.

I AM WOLF
My cold fingers will run down her hot body.
She will wake to the sight of my glowing eyes.
She will experience passion not human.
And she will yearn for much more.
The dark prince will take her in his arms
And place her on his black steed.
I am Wolf.

SNOW IS BLACK
A town where the snow is black,
bringing coldness & fear.
Old remnants of tears held back,
and times too hard to bear.
Woven from black sheets of rain,
fear covers in disarray.
Anguished & frozen with pain,
dark petals fall in dismay.
