Best Haunting Poems

Cold, so cold, as everything seems to enshroud me 
encasing light, the flame of life - darkness within.
Slivers of blue, ice my lips, like a frozen lake.
Am I in a nightmare - is this where realms begin?
All alone, is this real - where did all...

In the cemetery I walk, so dark it is this night.
 Hoping that the Ghouls won't start to bite.
I feel the tug of the dead, as each grave I pass.
 Thankful this nervous tension won't last.

Armed with my Animation supplies,
 I stare out at all...

Silence is deafening
Like a dungeon dark hallway.
Door after close door of bounding
Moans and groans, and painful
Yelling gasping for air.
I sit in this cold
Dark cell shivering with my
Blacken thoughts. 
Am I the only sane one? 
Am I the only healthy one?
They come in and out
At all...

He can’t forget her face and how that night
she said, “I love you” going out the door.
Her fragrance lingered when she’d left his sight.
It was Chantilly, that sweet scent she wore.

She crashed her car and died, and now each day
he thinks of how he’d once...

The old man had always had an unnatural fondness 
for the animal but could never seem to bond with human easily, 
with the exception of a special, dear grandmother. His mind 
wandered back to his childhood, the Christmas eve of 1958 about 
a special chore...

Haunting Memories
                         The Safety Zone



    It feels like I have wind chimes in my feet

Home to President Woodrow Wilson
Ivy scaled Monmouth’s outer walls
Laughter of youth from decades past
Resonated in marble-floored halls

The theater building was set apart
Further down Cedar Avenue
Another spirit stalked the stage
Where college actors made debuts

A gift from the Monmouth Race Park
Actors’ dressing rooms were stalls
Where a stealthy...

Thanks to Muhammad Imtiaz for allowing me to work with him to create this piece. I added a bit of fantasy to his real life experience. He was moved by seeing poverty up close in a Souk (Market) in Pakistan. His poem of the same...

The House is "SHAKING"

Hell's Angels are attacking it

The black Sky is "ACHING"

Stabs...Strike Lightning Quick

A Great Thunder's "Rumbling"...

In the battle of Devils cried the Stars

Ghost magically appearing

to scratch and  scar the night


Voices Scream out "HELP ME"

Echos terrorize your head

Who's the Spooky creature  

Is it...

The Haunting at Darkwood Hall

     As shadows deepened by the belfry wall
     Only one of them saw the spectre where
     Dusk crept, silent, through ancient Darkwood Hall.

     And on...

Those midnight texts living in my phone 
The silly emoticon chats 
Those Pic-mixed photos living in my memory card 
Those comments, likes, posts living on my facebook wall 
The silly arguments, talking about nothing

The poems I wrote for you 
The quotes we made and lived...

with echoes of lullabies

Pearl
rapids
steam cascade 
haunting  canvass 
a red dawn smoulder 
to prise sluggish eyelids 
of zestful bright mood  riser 
who gulps in  rapt awestruck spoonfuls 
of mosaic zone enthralled  enclave 
awash with random sun drenched blue pool plops 
Where giddy children cast green...

It was a gorgeous house
Dated in its style
A stone-walled bungalow
Quiet sitting up on a hill

I’d never seen a sign of life
And the stories lurked about
Owned by an old photographer
Whose son had hung himself

A house that seemed abandoned
Where everyone had left their soul
In some form passed...

Ramapo, New York, a small town
Was rural ... to say the least
Where simple folks lived a simple life
And most residents could rest in peace 

But, tonight was prom night and
The summer evening was unusually cool
As the graduating class of 1953
Gathered at their high school 

Leisurely,...
