BY THE SEA


Come with me to the pool by the sea.
Oasis is the best place to be.
Relax by the pool or sit at the bar.
Tourists visit this place from near and far.


I think I’ll take a dip in the pool.
I am definitely not a fool.
I’d never pass up a chance for fun
Or a tan in the Florida sun.


Wait. Come and look over here.
I found a book on the chair.
A small town is a beautiful place.
I see the stunned look on your face.


Oasis Hotel resembles this one.
But it isn’t always fun in the sun.
It is a haven for The Dead.
Is the heat going to your head?


The sky is turning dark.
Shadows appear in the park.
What’s that standing behind you?
It’s not one shadow, but two.


More shadows come ashore.
I will not wait for more.
Our destiny seems to be in this book.
I’m leaving now without a second look.

DANCE WITH ME

frozen Dance

Dance with me until the moon hides its face,
And the sun attempts to quicken the pace.
From the sunlight, the vampire turns his face,
And dancers twirl to the light’s frenzied pace.

CHOICES


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.

PREY FOR THE DEAD


The sand is soft beneath my feet.

I’m sure I’ve found a pleasant treat.

A metal door swipes across the sky,

removing the sun from the blue sky.

Trapped in a replica of my town,

I watch the sand become dark brown.

My longed-for peace won’t be won

since I’ve trusted the wrong one.

ALONE IN THE DARK


Source:slobbering 

Who sits and waits in the darkness?

There is no movement in the blackness.

As still as a fox waiting to pounce,

She waits without a ruffle or flounce.

A hissing sigh floats through the air.

Are those snakes slithering in her hair?

The ghostly form stands to meet us.

Is she the hostess sent to greet us?

We stand alone in this bleak hall.

There won’t be dancing at this ball.

Time to leave this creepy place

And quicken this story’s pace.

But since this is a horror story,

We won’t be leaving with much glory.

RIDE WITH ME


There is something not quite right.

Meetings are held at midnight.

Dark shadows creep the street.

You don’t know whom you’ll meet.

Take me from here.

The Dead, I can’t bear.

IF YOU DARE


A town laden with mystery

and cursed by dark history

appears peaceful by day

until the cursed ones play

with the inhabitants’ lives

like bears attacking bee hives.

MIDNIGHT AT THE OASIS


Lights flicker through the trees.

Music floats in the still air.

Dare we join the party?

Figures twirl inside the glass walls.

The clock strikes midnight.

Time comes to a standstill.

DARK FANTASY


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.

LOST


LOST AT A CARNIVAL
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 for the walls.
My hands slide
on...

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.

I’M LOST IN HIS GAZE


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.

DARK MAINE


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.

TRAPPED



Trapped in the mansion’s walls,

we struggle to break free.

Sighs echo through the halls,

but our plight no one can see.
