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.
THE DEAD GAME
by Susanne Leist
A clown leers at me.
The knife-thrower aims
and misses.
I run into a tent.
Mirrors surround me.
I flee into the darkness
and crash through a mirror.
I stand in a dark room.
The floor spins.
I grab the walls.
My hands slide
on the slippery stones.
A hole opens in the ground.
It widens,
pulling me closer
to the abyss.
I’m falling.
THE DEAD GAME
A gingerbread house so quaint.
Disguised with colorful paint.
An evil group lives here.
And our town is so near.
They are Watchers for The Dead.
I’m afraid to go to bed.
Come and take a quick look.
Or you can read my book.
THE DEAD GAME
The music drums to the beat
of the sound of marching feet.
Crimson waves hit the shore,
seeking both rich and poor.
A red blanket covers the town
as The Dead descend with a frown.
THE DEAD GAME
His teeth glisten in the night.
Will I turn from him in fright?
I’m lost in his heated gaze.
He’s mine for the rest of my days.
THE DEAD GAME
by Susanne Leist
Dark shadows descend
On a night that won’t end.
Lightning splits the sky,
Where birds refuse to fly.
Run before it is too late
before you meet your fate.
MEET ME IN MAINE
by Susanne Leist
Trapped in the mansion’s walls,
we struggle to break free.
Sighs echo through the halls,
but our plight no one can see.

Into the woods, I flee,
Yearning to be set free.
I don’t know which way to go.
I turn around, to and fro.
A light shines between the trees.
I peek between the thick leaves.
No one is on the path.
I can do simple math.
It’s them against me.
I’ll never be free.
THE DEAD GAME

Seek, and you shall find
what the mind may hide.
Follow the soft sighs
to where the bird flies.
Dig deeper into your dream
as you float with the stream.
Time will never end,
nor will it ever bend.
Enjoy the here and now
as I give my last bow.
HAIKU OF GOODBYE
The galaxy shines,
In awe of the human race.
It makes my heart race.
I cannot see far,
But I know what is right here.
It’s not far from here.
Heaven covers us,
Protects above and below.
To it, I must go.
Goodbye to my friends.
Time comes to an abrupt end.
I shine for each friend.
