Ungodly Things
As a blood-red sun bleeds in the sky,
white cottony clouds absorb scarlet.
And a seductive silvery Moon;
bares Her skimpy slip like a harlot.
Jack-o'-lanterns decorate porches;
grim gargoyles guarding All Hallows' Eve.
And costumed children go door to door;
begging for treats, dressed in make-believe.
Sinister shadows seamlessly merge;
outside the peripherals of light.
And goblins gather in the darkness;
watching vampires and witches take flight.
Halloween ends as the clock strikes twelve;
but each moment heightens the tension.
For before then, ungodly things roam;
committing sins too vile to mention.
Dawn pierces the night sky like a lance;
announcing the birth of a new day.
And the jack-o'-lanterns flicker out;
having kept hell's hooligans at bay.
