Spectre, Spectre

Spectre! Spectre! dreadful sight haunting tombs all hallows night my mortal eye fears to see are you in the cemetery? wafting through murky midnight mist 'tween head stones do you twist? in my ear do you bemoan? would you terrorise one alone? and how shocking, how maligned, have you twisted my once sane mind? and when my heart begins to beat will I run on leaden feet? that your cackle? your rattling chain? what asylum's in my brain? that your claw? such iron grasp will I flee its icy clasp? Archangel Michael felt the scars, when Satan threw down the stars, Did imps smile their work now through? Did He who made the Lamb make you? Spectre! Spectre! dreadful sight haunting tombs all hallows night my mortal eye fears to see are you in the cemetery? Everything Halloween contest 25/9/13
