All Hallows' Eve Black Mass Incantation

We Pray in The Name of Our Father Lucifer, 
Which wert in Heaven:

Boil, Boil plague-ridden rats and toads in oil,
With a pair of gleaming snake eyes too.
Mix in fresh hen’s blood and a rabbit’s paw,
With a touch of horse dung...

Be still, can you hear the drum, the drum
Hear it beat like a heart in the heavy night
Hold on to your soul, for the dead are come
To look to the living for light

Ashes and sulphur, blood on stone
Lavender, lilies, and roses blown

Out of the mist,...

(in anapestic tetrameter)

As it rolled through the darkness and grinned through the trees,
where the shadows lay crawling and scratching the ground -
the last remnants of summer now shook in the breeze,
on this evening of Hallows that crept all around.

On the hearth and the hilltops, the...

The doomed
entombed

Now rise
death cries

In fear
we hear

Death trills
blood chills......

All Hallows Eve - 1846
The festival, to all the saints now underway
as dark a night has fallen from an autumn day
and if you listen to the rustled breeze
you may hear voices somewhere in the trees
but never look for them--they're only there to play.

Two lovers in...

All Hallows Night

It’s a dark wicked night 
When the spirits alight
From graves and tombs, to wander
Tis the brave that go out
The strong and the stout
Whose sanity they risk to squander

The ghosts and the ghouls
Are out for those fools
Who roam, for trick or for treat
With every...

It’s here again all hallows eve
From times past when many did grieve
But for those that believe, the dead are coming to play
On this the eve of Halloween day.

The ghosts the ghouls and the dead do arise
Amongst trick or treaters, that’s where they survive
They dance around...

Ghouls, ghosts and goblins
Wicked Wiccans wielding 
Spirits soaring sacredly 
Trick or treating?	

Pumpkin patches present
Barren by butcher’s beast
Costumed careless children
Foul frightening feast

Darkened distressed demons
Patiently persecuting prey
Evil engulfs the entities 
Devouring delicious day

Halloween howls heard
From foreign fetched fans
Yearning, yielding, yenning 
For a fearful frightening band

leaves drift to the ground,
red and gold litter the street,
as ghouls come out to play,
one night a year;
All Hallows Eve!...

Witches three and cauldron black
Of spells and charms there be no lack
At dark woods edge upon a bleak height
Stoking the fire in the oncoming night

Gray is the sky
black tree branches bare
they sway, creak and crack
nought else but a howling wind there

Wolfsbane, thistle, coryander, and brine
Only...

Lantern of the Shadowed Glade

In shadowed glades where spirits dwell,
Beneath the boughs of an ancient spell. 
A pumpkin awaits, its fate foretold,
By tomes of old and tales untold.

Carved with care by children’s hands,
A toothy grin upon its face expands.
Yet, within those haunting, hollowed eyes,
Lies a...

That Ancient Darkside of All Hallows’ Eve Past

As in the fabled medieval times of centuries in the deep past,
It’s time once again to celebrate the hidden ugly horror that
Seeks to infest and devour all human souls in this new century. 

Be warned that false-faced beggars...

Lonely looking sky...

Eerie whispers in the night.
Dread fills the air with a chilling fright.
Ghosts of the past they take their toll.
Apparitions that haunt this lost, lonely soul.
Raven's justice in flight cries out a mournful plea:

"All Hallows' Eve, All Hallows Eve, the spirits are free!"
Lingering all...

In my sanctuary’s hush where Poe’s tales I clasp
Into his world I plunge with a breath, a rasp.
Beneath the creaking floorboards a heart's pulse
In my mind, my mind, oh it throbs and gasps;
Suddenly then I'm the culprit in horror's vice! 
My soul enclasped.

Entombed alive in...
