Zazzle's Annual Spooktacular Halloween Contest

Welcome to my Annual Halloween Comp DeanD, great entry enjoyed it!
Good luck !

Somebody has been in my room.
Its downright
Spooky
The whole place has been re-arranged.
Spooky
either that or I am just really out of it.

It is nice to relax and stretch out my legs
it has been a long time it seems like
but I know not why
Spooky

I gaze out into the moon of night

I am back in the living I chuckle
ha ha, but the joke is...

did you hear the one about
the guy who still thinks he is alive

My thoughts wander to
a wiry young fellow of twenty five
vagabonding cross continent  
after his big breakup
skipping the makeup

train-hopping across Mexico
dollar a day grape field laborers

"free grapes for all"
The vagabonds riding on top
with 70 mph winds in their hair
hop down
Scamper amongst  rows
of succulent green
while the train has
paused in its journey.
handing to eager passengers
Arms stretched out of windows

A graveyard in a southern Mexico town
A clean  bed for the night, no bugs,
High stone walls, no charge


I hoist  body
up and over
solid six foot wall
on the second try.

I choose a flat cool
slab off the ground a foot

lay my weary body on this bed
my rucksack  my pillow
Warm summer night my blanket

Marria Pena 1937-1967
Is the name of my night room

The main gait creaks open
A guard blows his  whistle

I must have made quite a scene
getting over the wall

I stay calmly motionless

The spooky silence tickles
The guard's ears
soon he leaves well enough alone

I drift into a slumber
I say her name
Marria...
I sense a stirring

I  do not remember my departure        
But this is 27 years after
from the safety of my own room 3000 miles away
In Michigan
Must have left.  Obviously.          
             
My dream is  love  made love        
that night bones with dried flesh
seeped through  stone bed
We have our night of passion        

Her scent,
brown face and eyes       
tears
soothing her shaking body.
with my warmth over her peculiar chill

Our love made lasts 27 years
I chuckle looking out at a
Hamtramck moon

But then in the life of the dead
27 years has been but a night
and on the night of the dead
I have drifted from her slumbering grasp
back to my childhood home
drifted 3000 miles in the space of a moment    
I chuckle,
what an Imagination
I try to register some recent memories
but only I feel her jealously calling
pulling
even  so far
distant
offers little refuge

I drift to my reckless youth  
Into her arms again
the cool slab harsh on my back
as she rides atop     
 
I had only just left
for my once a year
respite
to be mortal again
with spirits of night winds

I gaze at my rearranged room
my curiosity for it fades
I answer her jealous call


Returning gleefully
in the space and time of a
Lazy ocean breeze
I lift my Mararita from

the slab that confines her
together we frolic the earth
to dance with the living


     
     
     

A Hollow Even Cadaence

Night dark as
coal
Hollow chill wind

blow

Leaves a-chatter, crisp
they clatter past my stilletto'd toes
clicking
down silent darkened streets

past where shadows meet

sudden shriek
galvanizes feet
heartbeats thrum in throat, I swallow
pray to God, may I see tomorrow
whispered, oh-so Hallow-een

Possessed (Scary)

The demon peeks
From behind child’s eyes
Plotting its chaos
And destructive lies.
The end of the world
Is hauntingly nigh
As a grin curled with sin
Offers to help you die.

Sweet dreams to the weak,
They may be your last
For when you awake
Mortals and demons clash.

Waiting (Spooky)

Death patiently awaits
Outside decrepit walls,
Counting the minutes
In a crystal ball,
Whispering cold shivers
Down shadow-filled halls
While ghosts in the attic
Anxiously watch it all.

It’s just a matter of time
As flashing eyes
Hypnotize
And the midnight sky
Is electrified
By the intensity
Of October lightning.

The darkness holds what I don’t know;
Both the spooky and the frightening
The final unknown is softly sighing
And Fates cold grip is slowly tightening.

Nice to seer you here Sammy ")
Very nice said Both poems are on target!
Good Luck!

Take Me

Come hither
black shadows
slither
'cross my skin
let me feel you
prickle
gooseflesh
til I take you
within

Embrace me
chill wind howl
twitching
in my veins
lay me bare
beneath
the moonlight
and your
bewitching gaze

Devour me
dark evening
take me
within
Engulf me
Consume me
Til I give in
to sin

House-warming Gift


truth or dare...?.........?...................?

   creepy morose voice
echoed as he was
drawn back
from his fellow winged heroes
in  the lands without gravity.

"Did I just woke up to a dream?"

   does nightmares exist?
because he was never scared in his dreams
but this sudden damned feeling constricted his veins.
that noise
or is it a voice

"What is this feeling?"

   that blistering voice again.
his stare gazed into the windowpane
he's certain
he saw something
a cold thread pulled through his spine
as a nail draw a line in the window glass


"What the fuck was that?"

   a face sneaked out with a smile
she came passing the window
like a smoke

"H..h...h...h.....hrr..."

    his voice is gone
torpid arms
numb legs
frozen gaze

only heart's beating...

"I...i...i...i....."

TRUTH OR DARE?

   it sounded like
the whole room spoke

   giggles, laughs, orgasm breaths,
echoing randomly

TRUTH?   ......    NO?!
DARE? !.........? ....?..?
YES..........!!!!!!

I DARE YOU TO FUCK ME

his head is nodding

"Hmm..mm....Y...ye...yes..."

   she disappeared
into the sheets
slowly crawled
revealing her face
connecting to his gaze

   she is in flesh
amber grain pattern
on her pale skin
vermilion hair
glowing

   she moaned
she rode
he is mute

   in their climax
she disappeared
in a flashy smoke

leaving
crickets to
cry

"Oh my GaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaD!"

   that's his
house warming
gift

   he stared
at the scratch mark
left in the
windowpane

"Best Halloween of my life"

he stayed
laying
thinking
smiling

Mistress of Puppets


you
pinned me hate
Injected me
darkness

no more!

why do you
envy my  purity?

negativity is
the catalyst
of your energy

for an aeon
you had me in your palm
doing the death dance
representing you
on behalf of you

voodooed my soul to your fingers
manipulating my mind to do your dirt

mistress of the puppets that you are
wicked witch of the dark lands
death trembled in your presence
darkness bled to your glare
you love the blood
you love the red

yet
why you look so beautiful to me
why I only see your kindness

with a fake satisfaction
you infected me a craving
which never existed in me

I killed for you
I bled for you
I cried for you

I begged for you
to release me
again you will put your spell on me

that nervous look
of your sharp eyes
your pale face
looking down
that gaze
I’m lost

you slowly
lift your face
showing your
evil smile

a smile
will describe a
whole of things
you would do to me

I inhale a deep breathe
exhale it with a smile

you are standing
leaned back to the altar
you bend you left knee
the red velvet slides
to the side
revealing the pale skin
of your thigh

I grab my hilt
widening my smile

gazing at your red eyes
you knew what am going to do now
I knew you understand what I said

I will be back
my sweet princess
with heads of your
betrayers

from the lands
unseen
before the dawn
of this Halloween

Miasma


children’s countenance poke
through my Cush smoke,
chasing each other

shy, seen only from
the edge of my eye
leap for cover

arrested to the attic
emanating electrostatic
in their perpetual playground

their footloose footfalls
rebounding off walls
echo repeatedly resound

feeling like a foreigner
within giggling corners
when the sun sleeps

slightly unnerved
being observed
from the void while it creaks

simple child’s play,
so I chief away,
tolerant of their presence

as a miasma multiplies
behind me by
an evil essence

high spirits plummet
aberration swirls my stomach
into clutter

a form with no details,

whispers and wails
the entity utters

chastising the juveniles
belching bile,

declaring it’s domination

dispelling frost
foretelling loss
and the retribution I’m facing

the infinite animosity by
the catastrophic lit monstrosity
awaken me from my nightmare

guzzle a ice cold coke

go to the attic to toke

and stare

children’s countenance poke
through my Cush smoke...

(spooky)

Possession

Heavy, thick air hangs,
Thick with death; dead things
Faded, greasy wallpaper walls
Walls that swallow screams
Swallow lives
But now, silence is smothering

Putrescence overpowering
His free will shouting
Begging him to leave
He feels hair stand on his neck
He knows his job
Knows his place
His feet creak up the staircase

Air becomes viscous liquid
Stinking of rotting flesh
He chokes, approaches her
Sees little pretty teen
Under the demon coating
Unintelligible babbling
Low rumbling

Last thing he hears
Before his neck snaps
“Your mother sucks cocks in hell.”
