October Frights: Dark Poetry Corner

Welcome to the October Frights Blog Hop!

Today, for October Frights, I bring you phantoms and apparitions flitting through cyberspace in verse…

Spectres

Shadows, filmy grey

caught in worlds between

Lost whispers gone astray,

shadows filmy grey

Souls that hoped to stay

now wander sight unseen

Shadows filmy grey

caught in worlds between

From the Corner of your Eye

Movement flickers

in your periphery vision

Movement flickers

as your pace grows ever quicker

from haunting souls of excision

a wrong turn, fateful decision

Movement flickers

Ghosts in the Hall

Waning sunlight glints

through the cracked glass,

a dirty window pane.

Light flickers against

the lengthening shadows

in the empty corridor.

A layer of dust swirls

from an unseen waft of air,

and a faint whisper

murmurs a hello.

Midnight

Underneath the nocturnal moon

stir ghosts of sanguinary secrets

amidst the edges of sober reality

while an onyx raven takes wing

Voices sing a shadow’s knell,

that melody of blood and grave,

to hail the stygian souls, ascend

while an onyx raven takes wing

Spinning the dusty devil’s dance

above hoary and martyred bones

Rise, oh, rise, you hellion spawn

while an onyx raven takes wing

Come the thunder, crack the earth

in cackles of breath born laughter,

dredge forth those deathless screams

while an onyx raven takes wing
