Poem
It’s almost midnight On All Hallow’s Eve And I’m here to seduce, Entrance and deceive Tonight I come calling, a nightmarish creature – You’ll cling to the stories You’ve been told by your preachers Who tell you that ghouls Are all in the mind, But watch out for my presence Amongst man-unkind Creeping and crawling, I live for this night – I’m a monster most hideous, My first name is Fright I’m the truth of your nightmares, The terror is sheer And scaring you senseless Fills me with cheer I’m the presence Who inhabits your dreams I’m alive in your deep, Darkest screams I exist to appall you, Immerse you in fear And my day of wakening Is now, it’s right here This one night in autumn I visit from hell Where I have been watching you, I know you quite well I’ve waited so patiently For this Halloween So I can show you my real face, Gaunt, slimy, green When you first lay your eyes On the terrible me, You’ll know I’m black evil, But won’t believe what you see Shapeless and hopeless, I do not exist In the time-space continuum In which you persist I’m other-dimensional, Invisible, huge My lips aren’t quite white, My cheeks smeared with rouge My hair’s writhing reptiles, My nails twisted and curled My breath stinks of Hades – I’m so not of your world I slither through shadows, I suck the life from your dreams I slurp up your terror And munch on your screams You can shutter your windows Padlock each door You still won’t be safe – I’ll rise up through your floor At midnight, I’ll seize you And drag you away – You’ll never see the light Of All Hallow’s Day
