Poem
Donned my shroud for work that night, at the amusement park in the haunted house to thrill some kids; give 'em a fright just me alone I ran the place. For safety's sake I kept close check on who went in and who came out. Unwise it is, as you can see to have someone prowling about. The night was slow which suited me I liked to stroll the halls inside When time allowed and I was free, I walked each hall and chamber. I closed the door and locked the gate to check the space for wayward strays. Each room was clear as I went through no urn was moved, everything in place Upon the balcony I paused, when footsteps came from out the dark. A shiver down my spine they caused No soul should be inside with me I turned to look toward the sound I heard and out of the dark, what did I see? All dressed in black of finest lace a beautiful women stood staring at me The clock on the wall chimed twelve midnight. It was always twelve in the haunted house. I checked my watch; what ironic sight, for twelve it was, in reality. In my mind I wanted to flee, but feeling a gentle touch on my sleeve her icy yet delicate fingers, nearer, drew me and my heart would simply not let me leave. A single tear rolled slow down her cheek as her cold creamy lips pressed soft against mine. Then turning away from the kiss she did seek, as a smile crossed her lips, I saw her tear dry. Before I could think the shadows concealed her and left me alone on the dark balcony. I came to my senses and started to search. I looked in every nook and cranny. Not a trace did I find of this beautiful vision, though I searched through the night with fervent zeal, I made up my mind and came to a decision not to share this tale, to avoid the derision. I have broken that vow for only one reason to warn you, be careful of places like this. For sure you'll be left with a fear of the night and, perhaps, the memory... ... of a dark beautiful kiss. 10/09/15
