Naught for the Faint in Heart
Harrowing bloodcurdling decapitations, decomposing cadavers, and spine-tingling minions of apparitions,
that unravels in this gothic horror too spooky for the sane,
a haunted house wizard's necromancy as orbs creeps out the culled to unnerving extreme conditions,
with levitations abound as specters possess those they drain,
a witch incantations o'er boiling cauldron with the eyes of newt, whorling bats, hooting owl renditions,
arched black cat hissing as the mangled mouse shrieks wane,
hair-raising tools of chainsaws, pitchforks, guillotines, scythe, thumbscrews, and fatal games of volitions,
petrified palpitations immeasurable to read a pulmonary vein.

8 Lines of Spooky Rhyme

I walked into walls.
Closed myself in solitude,
To sit, letting my mind and heart flow.
Closed my eyes to think it all,
To contemplate about life,
To follow dark lights,
To meditate with my soul...
Opened my eyes once more,
To see other dimensions of realms,
To venture constellations,
To travel universes,
Watching many beings;
To wander celestial horizons,
Touching galaxies and nebulas,
Proceeding beyond unknown black holes,
Envisioning amalgam of souls;
Levitations, enlightenments all along...
Regaining my physical body
With my enlightened silver soul,
After a solitary walk
Inside and beyond walls
At moments of meditational flows...
