Poem # 31
SPIDER DANCE
~
Weave your web of love around me
Seduce me with your words, sublime
Silken strands to hold and bind me
Capture me…I’ll call you mine…
Spin your web in sticky spirals
I’ll never want to flee,
Lure me with your lyrics, love…
Come closer…come get me.
Dance with me, my Spider…dance…
Be wanton with your wildness,
Pierce me with your poisonous lance,
Our rebel love is reckless.

Poem # 30
IF WE LIVED IN THE WOODS
~
If we lived in the woods,
What would we do?
Watch out for wolves,
And practice “Hoo-Doo”.
If we lived in the woods,
It would never be dull.
We would pick mushrooms and
Light up the Skull.
If we lived in the woods,
We would not have a phone.
We could bake a cake, and
Visit the Crone.
If we lived in the woods,
We would have to be focused.
We’d have to watch out for
Bats and the Locusts.
If we lived in the woods,
We’d light a candle.
It would never be too much
To Handle.
If we lived in the woods,
We’d sit and converse,
With the flora and fauna, and
Things of the Earth.
If we lived in the woods,
We’d chant and invoke,
Spirits of those of whom
Time Never Spoke.
If we lived in the woods,
We’d never be sad.
The rest of the world will
Call us Mad.
If we lived in the woods,
We’d play ‘neath the pines.
We’d make our peace with the
Spooks and the Signs.
If we lived in the woods,
We would howl at the Moon,
And dance in it’s light
From August till June.
If we lived in the woods…
If we lived in the woods…

Poem # 29
WITCHY FUN
~
From Oz to Salem, to suburban mayhem,
The witches entertained us all.
The witch of the west, was creepy at best,
And Glinda was belle of the ball.
Samantha twitched her nose,
Whenever she chose, and
Sabrina’s cat talks to her, it is true.
Elphaba was wicked,
Endora was vivid…
They all were an interesting crew.
The Sanderson sisters were funny and camp,
The witches of Eastwick were duped…
They all used their craft, and a bit of their vamp,
But Morticia’s my all favorite champ.
~
Shows referenced = Bewitched, The Wizard of Oz, The Addams Family, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hocus Pocus, The Witches of Eastwick, and Wicked (broadway play)

4 a. m.
~
Vampires and Lost Souls
Such are the demons we fight
4 a. m. secrets
***
Vampires and Demons
Guard your Lost Soul against them
4 a. m. terrors
***
Lost Souls together
Stand against evil beings
4 a. m. – love wins

Poem # 27
DEATH BY SNAIL
~
A princess born to royalty
In Egypt’s long ago day
Dined on poisonous escargot
And duly passed away
Petrified and mummified
Her sacred scarab by her side
To protect her bones
She rests in place, rests in peace, as
Her scarred soul yet roams

Trick or Treat
***
Happy holiday hijinks
Abound this night
Laughter and
Little ones go
Out trick or treating
Wearing costumes of their choosing
Even if it’s cold weather
Everyone has a good time
(k)Nocking on doors, begging for candy

“A Purple Panic”
~
As purple panic fuels your fear,
Hobgoblins are drawing near
Bats and banshees hover close
Ready to administer a frightful dose
Now purple panic has set in
The night of terror will begin

Poem # 23
LOOK INSIDE
~
Take a look,
Take a look,
Take a look inside…
Take a look inside yourself,
What have you got to hide?
What do you see,
What do you see,
What do you see, I ask?
What do you see yourself to be…
What’s hiding behind that mask?
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself to me…
Reveal yourself…I want your truth…
Be who you were meant to be.

Ghost
~
GHOST (#1)
Ghost
Tortured soul
Crying, whispering, sighing
Trapped between two worlds
Apparition
~
GHOST (#2)
Ghost
Disembodied being
Searches, haunts, manifests
Lonely, cold, and alone
Spirit

Poem # 21
SPECTER’S PRAYER
***
Twisting, turning in their graves
Souls want out tonight.
Tangled in their silken shrouds,
No one hears their plight.
A Specter of their former selves,
They claw with bloody nails…
They struggle inside their coffins, dark…
No one hears their wails.
Come closer, you who walk nearby,
Release us from this plane.
Our spirits now just ectoplasm
That death will not lay claim.
Sobbing now, we feel the chill
Of centuries gone by…
Please rescue us, oh mortal ones…
You see…we did not die.
