Autumn in the Air

Photo by Matheus Bertelli on Pexels.com

Excitement in the air

as the pumpkin is lit

eyes begin to sparkle

emotions to emit

Trees dropping leaves

red, brown, and yellow

surrounding the pumpkin

a popular fellow

Walking down the streets

fun and scary costumes

collecting candy

such sweet fumes

Bright sparklers

illuminate the night

filled with colors

a festive sight

Autumn continues

tables filled with food

a bountiful harvest

so much to be viewed

Meditation over

so grateful to be alive

sitting by the fire

continuing to thrive

City Window Inspiration

Haunted by doubt

holding a notebook of fears

praying for a better day

hoping inspiration is near

A window view

of the concrete city

spying a kenspeckle figure

body language quite witty

Glancing at the flowers

a thought came to mind

writing about the figure

including a creative design

Fear disappears

presentation quickly comes together

heavy spirit lifts

now light as a feather

Success comes

all doubts put away

smiling and grateful

inspiration came to stay

Pocket of Dreams

Photo by Andrii Lobur on Pexels.com

In the midst of the cobweb

there is a pocket of dreams

interpretations of life

trapped in a screen

Thoughts holding a conference

determining what holds power

discussions begin

at the midnight hour

Emotions assist thoughts

as the leaves glide in the wind

colors represent feelings

the veil is thinned

Red representing rage

at things that are unfair

feeling trapped

caught in a snare

Others leaves without color

representing death

is it all over

at the last breath

Yellow leaves

representing life

hope and love

defeating the strife

Morning comes

dew on each thread

sparkling diamonds

there is nothing to dread

Joyful thoughts

rule this day

feeling love

protected by a sun ray

Halloween in the Forest

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

Euphoria in the night

regurgitating tales of old

friends gather

in the autumn cold

Hot apple cider with rum

a homemade drink

gnarl in a tree as a tray

toasting as the mugs clink

Lighting sparklers

dancing in the night

a squirrel joining in the fun

causing a fright

Gathered in blankets

ghost stories are told

of devils appearing

with promises of gold

The moon is full

as the revelers make their way home

filled with joy

allowing imaginations to roam

Cobbler from Halloween Past

Traveling through time

neurons intact

a Halloween long ago

excited to go back

Looking around

in search of a recipe

the cobbler is on the table

aroma is heavenly

Music playing

dancing to the tunes

greeting friends from long ago

reminiscing in each room

Now in the kitchen

filled with remnants of the past

love the oven

made when appliances would last

Cookbook open

recipe printed in bold

easy to read

filled with ingredients of old

Memorizing it all

time to return to the present

citing an incantation

the moon is crescent

In my kitchen

the cobbler sits on the table

warm and comforting

now a Halloween staple

The Mortal Combat

A scorch mark on the table

defined the high stakes

the vampire and the mortal

blood or money to take

Eyes in a hypnotic state

winner take all

hands tightly clasp

who will take the fall

A cautionary tale

to anyone willing to take a risk

strength of the mind and body

breathing is brisk

Swaying arms to the left

and then to the right

crowd is tense

at the sight

A moment of silence

vampire is stunned

mortal slams his hand

grabs the money and runs

Grabbing the bottle of red devil

gulping it down

vampire turns into a bat

chasing the mortal through town

Night becomes day

as the sun begins to rise

mortal takes his winnings

and the vampire cries

Vestige of my Soul

Photo by mali maeder on Pexels.com

The vestige of my soul

is hidden within a mask

showing joy or sorrow

is too much to ask

Living in the world

unknown to others

blending in without knowing

who are my brothers

Always being watched

freedom is gone

trapped in a matrix

feeling like a pawn

Making a bold choice

to live in the light

show myself

soul getting bright

Reaching out

giving a helping hand

comforting others

across the land

Meditation over

in a beautiful place

blessings are abound

gifts of grace

An Organ Journey

Photo by Akshar Dave ud83cudf49 on Pexels.com

The scene is grisly

blood where the corpse lays

yet a certain beauty appears

as the light begins to play

On this cold night

with snow on the ground

the wind is eerie

making a whistling sound

The corpse is

placed on the table

the heart is removed

and given a label

Before being stored

the heart gives a beat

flying through the air

down the street

Through the sky

feeling the need

there is a calling

answering with great speed

On another table

a dead heart is removed

the beating heart placed

dancing to the groove

Death in one place

loved ones filled with grief

another place has life

prayers of relief

A spooky beauty to it all

we are all related

connected in life and death

love is inflated

A Vampire’s Nightmare

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

Suspended in the air

stealing the gift of life

the vampire frightens his victim

causing much strife

Drinking in the blood

tastier in fear

now in a frenzy

no help is near

Leaving the lifeless body

the vampire makes his way

crawling into the darkness

before the light of day



Awakening the next evening

something has changed

looking around

things are quite strange

The marble body

once strong with power

dna being rewritten

now being devoured

Organism growing

pain in his veins

a new body emerging

acquiring a soul in chains

Transformation complete

feeling constant fire

living without hope

situation is dire

Crying out for mercy

within the fires of hell

a hand lifts him

out of the fiery well

Thrown back into time

to where it all began

a choice to be a vampire

or a mere man

Awake again

blood continues to flow

vampire or a man

only the nightmare will know

A Ghoul Attack

Photo by Sebastiaan Stam on Pexels.com

The ghoul lurkes

in the darkness of the night

fear overcomes me

holding my soul tight

Sitting still

extremely tense

a dark fog encompasses me

the air is dense

Calling out

for mercy and grace

heart is racing

evil is in the race

Horrible feelings

anger and rage

of things in the past

now in the present age

Thinking it’s over

turning over in a grave

hell is below me

about to enslave

A small light

enters through a crack

growing larger

and begins to attack

Lifting my soul

setting me free

rage and anger gone

love answers the plea

It is now well

within my soul

evil has been defeated

as in the days of old
