Long Eery Poems

"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"

There are rumours
about me, some 
come seeking me
with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart 
shaped planchettes

unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking 
underfoot...

Sitting on the beach,
As dusk falls upon the end of shore,
I look at the lighthouse,
As I see a faint figure,
Looking beyond the sea.
She holds her chest,
As if she is holding a necklace.
She waits for her...

Twas the darkest of nights in the prarie woodland
Little Red Riding Hood walked the raven strand

A steamy fog cut through the bleary bog
The rancid odor of vaporous springs did the air clog
A venomous frog full...

Firelight ghost stories entertain the dark starless evening. Young eyes plead, tell me a ghost story please!

On a dark moonless, starless night much darker than this night, four young teenagers were cruising in dad's car...

Disease beneath the skin, iron will can never win.
Death in the air, sorrow and misery the killing pair.
What's no longer in the mind, has left for no one to find.
The eery chill, just waiting for...

SHAPE SHIFTER
-------------------
Whiter than the bright
Light at the dawn of the day
Like an angel I fly
... High across the skies

A giver of life where I can
Amidst the dying bands
God's healing hand
To suture broken lands

Nobility fluorishes as...

Coldness is swallowing me, freezing me in time.
This beast inside me is all I can call mine.
All I have left is the thought of your crime.
I've lost my self, my being, my very mind.

I’m perched upon my rock
Up above the full high tide.
The water as calm as I’ve ever seen it
With shades of blue and mirror reflections, 
Stormy dark clouds hanging over the hills 
Across from me on...

Striding into the snowy fortress my tepid heart at double time 
paces
Entering a pine colonnade sprouting a wintry mane, saddled with 
velvety laces    
Cloaked with icy needles forming a brittle, hooded trellis
Golden beams seap...

In the dead of night
Dreams already dare
Eery silence fills
The dark casm 
Soon to be unbare

In the dead of night
Little girls start to fight
Against dark claws
Bars holding them tight
Suffocating what must be

In the dead of night
Trouble...

Gaining muscle 
Restraining lies,
It was time for a new beginning.
And though it pierced unmercifully,
the dagger still won this round.
Fresh blood eliminates the guilt and the forgiveness plunges into the ground 
an eery waltz is the...

grey hooded shadows visit me in half dreams,
speak to me in a language I understand,
their voices filled with laughter and eery screams,
they come riding from a far of foreign land!

they talk of green fields that...

Now if you are listening 
You can in fact hear all the whispers 
And while the wind is whistling
About random subjects like storms and winters

There comes a time of silence its an eery sound
The sky...

SANCTUARY

THE POOL HAS
SURROUNDING GREAT BOULDERS ASSURING AND SECRETIVE,
CUPPING WIDE BUBBLING DEEP BAPTISMAL RUSHES OF AZURE WATER
RELEASES HOT FLASHING PENDANTS IN GLORIOUS JUNGLE REPRIEVE.
THE POOL HAS
MUFFLED SOUNDS FROM NIGHT ANIMALS CALLING GUESTS’ REST RULES,
THE AQUIFER FLOWS...

Surrounded by seven cherubs of cheer,
Just recently passing my 100th year,
I’ve been standing here on this perch,
In Little Falls, MN’s Our Lady of Lourdes church.

Most of the day I’m alone simply pining away,
Surrounded by stained...

In a small shop outside of town,
on a dark and eery day,
   while rain comes crashing down,
there I lay in dismay.
   Silently I turn my head,
to see my reflection from within.

TRAGEDY IN BLACK

Damn, folks always have something feverish to say
About darker hues representing the jealousy of ravens
But, in my opinion, there's something even more eery about day
Because lies can hide in the light of these...

Pray dream of wondrous places where inspiration grows on trees
And jangles ever more in a soft warm scented breeze
Where all of us that ever paused long enough to write
Will find some inspiration accosts us in...

I get up and step on something
My bass makes a buzzing sound
The low pitch of the strings 
An eery feeling Screaming through my head

All Hallow's Eve is quite an eery night to be out past dark

watch and learn from me how to scare the most,

bare ugly fangs and scream loud,

Lay down my child,
be wrapped within my welcoming arms.
I am the blanket of the night.
Tender thy hold until lights of the morrow.

Laying down to sleep,
foggy is her mind.
Nestling down to the empty space of oblivion.
