A HOUSE OF SURPRISES

A HOUSE OF SURPRISES

On a dare,

I came here.

Into a deserted house I go.

Too dark to see if there’s friend or foe.

Windows too dirty to see through the casement.

I’m taking the creaky steps to the basement.

Three empty coffins are in the light. 

My heart almost stopped beating from fright.

This is much too creepy for me.

I hope one isn’t meant for me.

Unfortunately, the door has locked.

My only way out has been blocked.

Shadows are moving toward me from the rear.

Their elongated faces show no fear.

I believe I have well-played my last game.

The evil winner could have all the fame.

THE TREE

THE TREE
 
The tree appears dark and looming.
It could use some proper grooming.
I want to take a walk between its legs,
Growing tall from the ground like giant pegs.
By its rules we must strictly abide.
Imagine the secrets it must hide.
Come walk with me in its deep shade.
Through the fallen leaves we will wade.
A canopy of leaves above our heads
As we fall asleep in our leafy beds.

AN OASIS

AN OASIS

I may be living in an oasis,
Where the sun shines on a daily basis.
Florida has beautiful flowers and beaches,
But what it may be hiding are deadly leeches.
Dark shadows are following me right now.
I need to escape but I don’t know how.
I don’t want to end up like that dead woman.
I don’t even know if the shadows are human.

COLORS FOR MY MIND

COLORS FOR MY MIND

Picture a flower growing from the sea.
Can there be a prettier sight to see?
Blue bubbles of flowers floating ashore.
Who even knows what they are supposed for.
This is what I need for today.
Pastel colors to soothe my stay.
Pinks and blues mix well together.
I can look at them forever.

THE DEAD

THE DEAD


The Dead are now here.
I cower in fear.
I see Louise hanging
While The Dead are laughing.
They circle her body with their hoods on.
What have we done for this to come upon?
Their evil chanting flows to me through the air,
Lifting every single one of my hair.
Their leader is lifting his arms to the sky.
For my poor Louise, this is a sad goodbye.
I must run for help from the Sheriff.
For soon the rest of us will perish.

PURPLE HAZE

PURPLE HAZE

Surround me in a purple haze
As I walk slowly in a daze.
I could fall asleep in this tent. 
The smell alone is heaven sent.
The scent of lilac is filling my head.
I need to find an appropriate bed.
I will just sit on this bench in the sun 
And enjoy the lights of the setting sun.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

THE NOOSE

The hanging noose is here.
Everything is clear.
The Dead are taking me down.
They want to clean up the town.
“Let’s get rid of Louise,” they say.
“Let her be the first one to pay.”
They are circling me round and round.
I’m hanging with my feet off the ground.
I can recognize one of the creatures.
I’ve already seen those set of features.
But it’s too late for me and the town.
It’s staring at me with a big frown.
“Cheer up,” I want to scream at it.
“Since I’m the one whose buying it.”

GAZEBO IN THE DARK

GAZEBO IN THE DARK


The thick darkness surrounds me from all sides.  
The storm is brewing with the rising tides.
Up ahead is the gazebo in the clearing.
I do not like the sound of the wind I’m hearing.  
Tonight it is deserted and eerie.
 I wonder if anyone will see me.  
There are candles lit inside.  
There won’t be a place to hide.
I’m being pulled into the light.
I refuse to give up my fight.  
A noose is hanging up above for me.  
Soon I’ll be bait for the fish in the sea.

HIDDEN

HIDDEN

I walk among the living at day.
They do not hear I word that I say.
They believe I’m alive like them,
But I’m stronger than any men.
I can run like the wind through the trees,
Flying through the sky faster than bees.
At day my true self is hidden away.
People think I might be a little fay.
At night I walk the earth with the others.
They are as close to me as my brothers.
I’m more powerful than The Dead are.
To find me you don’t have to search far.
Who am I? you might ask.
I might take you to task.
Then you will be in hell forever more.
Be careful before you open that door.

INTO THE WOODS WE GO

INTO THE WOODS WE GO

Into the woods we go.

What's in store we don't know.

A green light is following us through

In shades of yellow and even blue.

The birds have disappeared from sight.

I can hear their wings taking flight.

A house stands in the clearing up ahead.

Off to the side is a broken down shed.

Two people are waiting at the door.

Can it be us they are looking for?

It is us they are staring at.

The man is waving his top hat.

This feels like one of those fairy tales.

The man is wearing top hat and tails.

The sky has just turned pitch black.

I want to turn and go back.

I can't see the house or couple anymore.

I have a feeling that we are all done for.

IT BURNS

nokturrdodith:

IT BURNS

Terror has to come to our town.
Why the big unhappy frown?
The Dead are here to stay.
They have come out to play.
The church is burning down.
There goes our pretty town.
I am their leader, you see.
Bow down now and worship me.

"A DELIGHT AND A TERROR TO READ"

A delight and a terror to read

By Colm Herron 

May 7, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

 

Nothing is what it seems to be in this graphically and brilliantly written horror story.

Take an idyllic town called Oasis. Take a girl called Linda who arrives there to open a bookshop (but finds that she's really opening a can of worms - and corpses and vampires and ghosts). Take her stubborn determination to investigate on and on and on instead of getting the hell out. Take a mysterious invitation to an abandoned mansion of death and decay. Take all these and every fibre of you and your brain will be screaming "What in under God are you doing there? Get out! Don't be crazy!"

This dark romantic horror fantasy was a delight and a terror to read. Stunning.

SUMMER

Pier 60 | ( by Claude Allaert )

SUMMER

I want to enjoy the summer light.
It does shine on the water so bright.
Smell the salt water in the  air.
Let the sea breeze flow through my hair.
Happiness is a day at the beach.
It is what I so dearly beseech.
A day with no worries or fears.
No bad things to bring me to tears.

FOLLOW THE LIGHTS

FOLLOW THE LIGHTS

Follow the lights to the house of glass.

There will be much splendor in the grass.

Lights in the trees as far as the eye could see.

A more decadent event there could not be.

Champagne will be flowing until the wee hours.

Come with me and dance among the pretty flowers.

This room full of guests gives me a chill.

Maybe we should leave I’ve had my fill.

Eyes are following us in the room.

They will be upon us all too soon.

The guests are not what they appear.

Beneath they are just bones and hair.

TRAPPED

TRAPPED

Trapped inside myself.
Trapped with my insecurities.
Afraid to break free.
Free to try new things.
To be a different person.
Can it be done?
It will be painful.
Breaking the glass walls around me.
Too much broken glass and blood.
But I can do it.
I will do it.
Goodbye to doubters.
Hello to new me.
