Do you fear dying?
Have you breathed utter darkness
that tests your resolve?
The night is ghastly only
if you lose sight of Heaven.

You dare harvest ME? Take to mind!
Or I'll haunt you tonight
With my ghastly white-light
So don't carve your face in MY rind!

Sounds utterly ghastly to me:

There was a Martian, whose name was Fred.
Who had a Venusian girlfriend, who said?
Fred is a ghastly lover.
He will only hover.
He has no feet or hair on his head.

Horror yellows in vaults.
The commonplace
entertains the unspeakable.
We have photographed
every ghastly act.
Pundits endlessly debate
the proverbs
of ancient spiders.

Blank verse
Alone, a ghastly night without you
And a moment of your absence
You know I can't put up with.
As my hands, manacled
With yours, pain me much
While tugged by you--
Kind of joy
Pervades
Me.

Age, catatonically passed between
In its thinking processes
Doubt, and the most ghastly, Fear.
And will no angel edge up, to whisper
Death's so called realm, down-winging:
"Death is but heavenly near?"

Pale and wan the ghastly, ghostly be
Made a scared and chilly, tingly me.

a ghastly mistake
to interact in the first
place
but interaction was made
relationship was established
years together failed miserable
never had a snow balls chance in hell
of ever lasting for the long hall

Ghastly Grave Gathering
Gran and grandpa are gone
Giving grandchildren gifts
Generations greedy
Guilty, grabbing for gain
Granted gratis gold goods
Girls grovel gracelessly
Gluttonous grandkids grief

oblivious before
but now i know
the painful lie
that stirred below
behind the masks
you hid so well
the ghastly face
on which the curtain fell
the ache and pain
that welled within
the truth revealed
the tears begin.

All bombs cause destruction exemplifying
fanatic ghastly heartless infamous
jar, kindling loathe, machination nefarious
operations pitilessly quashing
rabid sanguineous tyranny, uncivilized violence,
warlike xenophobia, yielding zilch!

wheatgrasses of morn
ringlets tattered by maelstorm-
I lay on dirt path, wailing
into night's refrain
quill darts on flamed papyrus

Masquerade Ball
Dress up ghouls
Death's Masquerade Ball.
Each ghastly dance
Creates the queue.
A death head prize
For willing waltz.
A looming grave
The victory taunts
A dying knave,
A pyrrhic flaunt.

The Judgement came, with a ghastly boom.
The righteous awaited glory.
The iniquitous felt shame.
They had fallen from grace.
Darkness engulfed them.
Their punishment
was to stay
as trapped
souls.

Ghastly voices I hear in the night shrieking
Hallowed death unexpected has struck my friend
Only a month hence we were speaking,
Who knew soon would come a bitter end
Someday, he and I need no longer pretend.
