All Future Brides Beware

swirling stars of snow amidst lightning spikes
                       electricity of stark midnight strikes

                     a wicked wind, silk toss’d canopy bed
                          pale Cassidy resurrect’d from dead

      dress’d in thick black, mourners wailing in hall,
 soon see the shrieking ghost coming through wall

  wraith sights the witch who killed her in his arms
    ‘geist snatches wench-face, recalcitrant to harm
