Ungodly Things
As a blood-red sun bleeds as it sets,
white cottony clouds absorb scarlet.
And a seductive silvery Moon
bares her skimpy slip, like a harlot.
Jack-o'-lanterns are placed on 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 sight.
And goblins gather in the darkness;
whereas vampires and witches take flight.
Halloween ends as the clock strikes twelve:
each moment heightening the tension.
For until then, ungodly things roam;
committing sins too vile to mention.
Dawn's light pierces the night like a lance:
while giving birth to a brand new day.
And the jack-o'-lanterns flicker out:
having kept Hell's hooligans at bay.
