Halloween Week: The Dark Poetry Corner

Welcome to Day Three of my Halloween Week!

Today I present my Dark Poetry Corner...

(Plus a great giveaway!)

Seraphim Woods

Beyond the dark, in the faraway worlds,

past the wispy zephyrs of a lost horizon

the whippoorwill calls, and the raven sings

of death and pain, and the shadows sharp

Keep to the path, don’t stray a step

Don’t walk alone in Seraphim Woods

Beyond the twilight, in the murky mists

moonlight nocturnal will waltz with the dead

while ancient rhymes disturb mortal sanity

and lullabies croon to forgotten beasts

Keep to the path, don’t stray a step

Don’t walk alone in Seraphim Woods.

Beyond the realms, where the ravening dwell,

where the footsteps crackle on the empty wind

and the trees shiver as strange creatures pass,

their muted voices whispering secret names

Keep to the path, don’t stray a step

Don’t walk alone in Seraphim Woods.

Ashen

Path of stones, pale bones

to carry them down

Hear the wild wind howl

The crow caws, give pause

Shadows shift around

Hear the wild wind howl

Wolf in white, need bite

savagery unbound

Hear the wild wind howl

A scream lost, in frost

countless echoes sound

Hear the wild wind howl

None to save, buried grave

The dead, in the ground

Hear the wild wind howl
