They Return On Hallow's Eve

Cold splinters the black night.
Between the aged headstones,
Sullen eyes move through the mist.

This one night they live again.
Black hearts beat once more,
Blood lust again unleashed.

Evil hovers above the open grave,
Ears deaf to the howling of the damned.
The night of terror has begun…..

Excellent work, Barbara! Well written and very intense. It sounds like the opening/intro of a horror novel. Well done! Love, Robin
