Halloween Aliens Awaken

Haunted House was built on cemetery grounds Completed at a time before the aliens in white arrived Cold fleshed, green teethed, in gray seasons grip Beneath the rocks in molded soil hidden Bones lifted in a dig disfigured More dead than alive, lost souls vacated The spade laid down for a seconds spell With crusted man along the dirty rock To take a breath and gaze into the void Sweat serene, glistening, dripping from the brow Elongated fractured skulls rest settled Reveal nothing to the nothing new A grave robbers truth comes with uninvited guests Moved in unannounced uncounted under haunted house Under a blood drained moon anemic to the touch Giant trees shrouded, doomed, draped in black Fog hides dark sins, cast dim images, shed in mystery Surmise a death spiral rising from the grave Comes calling along the last crusted leaves revealed Dried, turned brown, died, dead on the boughs Hung over the inevitable advance of age Blown hollow now on Winters wind deceased Clouds gather at the ripe time harvested Watch gouged out eyes inflicted by angry aliens Nails sharp, metallic claws, ripping at the throat Scratching at the vacant skies half maddening Exposing a complex skeletal system poisoned A cobwebbed network of limp branched bones That fill in the nightmares shared by strangers Fall collapsed, civilization followed, laughed Cemetery house claims an ugly infestation Aliens, lost souls, elongated skulls remain Quiet, serene, for the time being Visitors tongues are silenced Cut out with a smile, glistening white Poem created on 9/28/2016 for "Scare Me Good" Poetry Contest
