Author's Notes: The "Blood Red Moon" is a Quatrain write that Liam McDaid and I closely collaborated on. If you like these types of dark fantasy writes around the season of Halloween, well then we've written one here that Liam and I feel that you will gladly sink your Halloween Fangs into!! This particular work is more of a narrative write structured in a Quatrain format. The Man, who is the protagonist of this story (akin to a Greek drama) has fallen victim to the evil power and force of the Blood Red Moon. Of course this wouldn't be a good story if we left out such gems as: "the evil army of undead beings," "large spider webs," and "the wicked jaws of a rabid beast" among other key images in this poem. There is much more to experience and see as you read more deeply the words of this macabre write. The Man in question, does have the opportunity at the end of his journey of torture and suffering under first the shadow, then the glare of the Blood Red Moon to be "kissed by spirits of the damned," which ends his life and ensures that he joins the soulless minions forever trapped in the Kingdom of Lucifer. BOO!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM LIAM AND ME!! (Gary Bateman - October 11, 2015) (Narrative Quatrain)

Blood Red Moon
Deep devouring passions bleed now from this solar eclipse
As black blood flows from an evil army of “undead” beings
Whose fangs hideously and cruelly pierce the veins of their
Mesmerized and unsuspecting victims who are held at bay.
In such silence burdens prowl inside deep sad heartbeats
As ghastly living shadows creep eerily in and knot the
Tortured guts of a twisted scared bloodless life falling
Under the dark macabre gaze of the Blood Red Moon.
At night uncanny black magic spells are intoned in the
Old Latin scripture as large spider webs cast a gloomy
Presence and envelope now all those trapped by them as
The misted breath bleeding hearts howl to Heaven’s roar.
Standing upon a rugged and lonely mountain crossroad
There can be no release from the devilish glare of the
Vaunted “Blood Red Moon” whose evil presence pervades
Every breath you take and casts a demonic derisive stare.
My senses are now frozen in place as a deep chill shakes
My soul to the very core of its primordial existence as I
React to the cutting cold of a dawning maleficent darkness
Invading every corner and space of my psyche and existence.
The wicked jaws of a rabid beast seek now to bite and rip
All beauty from me and all thoughts I hold close and dear
As I gasp now for life and painfully feel my tired heartbeat
Slow as my immortal soul numbs and cries crocodile tears.
I’m cursed now to walk alone forever as my spilled remains
Are cut now and my ties of human existence have disappeared
Putting me on the ground on all fours as I ponder my ultimate
Fate in the hands of a supernatural force beyond any mercy.
As the shadow of Lucifer’s Blood Red Moon passes over my
Tortured face I spy a look at one demonic siren prompting me
Now to follow her as my body is placed on a sacrificial alter
And my life ebbs away as I’m kissed by spirits of the damned!
