Light of the Moon

Light of the moon hangs Delivers slight disruptions To the midnight scene Girl seemingly beautiful Flashes of light reveals truth With each lightning strike She turns into an old hag Corrupting those near Her evil eyes, hollow, pierce Taking down those unwary She walks lazy streets Where the unsuspecting seen All fall under spells That she deftly crafts along Takes them down one at a time A victory dance She graces at the finish After her quota All the souls she has bequeathed For this latest Halloween

a very mysterious one, Russell. Reminds me somewhat of a classic ghost story I once heard.
