Here is my Halloween poem. It will surprise you all! Enjoy!
LATE NIGHT DELIGHT (thanks to
Poe’s Raven)
Once upon
a midnight dreary, searching
the internet, my eyes grew bleary,
and soon the words were dancing on the screen that I viewed.
Briefly
nodding, nearly falling, suddenly
my skin was crawling,
as if a
spirit hovered near, setting off a fearful mood.
‘There’s nothing there,’ I whispered,
‘only thoughts misconstrued,
Only this and nothing more.’
As my
fingers remounted the keys, suddenly
I sensed a breeze,
and my
eyes slowly glanced around my gloomy room.
Timidly I
chanted a prayer, hoping
there were no phantoms there,
as shivers
crept up my spine, and the
room felt like a tomb;
‘Stop this imagining! Stop all this doom and gloom!
It’s in your mind, and nothing
more.’
I
observed the computer screen, and was
shocked at the scene,
performed
in graphic detail before my very eyes.
I viewed
me seated in my chair, totally
enrapt and unaware,
of a
macabre creature standing silent behind me.
Far too
frightened to look behind, and too
terrified to flee-
‘There’s only me here, nothing more!’
Then the
scene showed this specter, suck my
blood like it were nectar,
and I
heard an arousing moan as my
spirit was transformed.
Next I
viewed me turn and kiss the demon
with corporeal bliss,
and soon
we fell upon the bed and, well, …we
performed.
As I
watched, my fear was gone, and my
cold body it had warmed-
‘Oh my goodness, please, I want more!’
Suddenly
the screen went black, and I
gave it a whack,
hoping to
continue the scene that
played before my eyes.
Pleadingly
I loudly prayed, for a
miracle to pervade,
and waken
my computer from this untimely demise.
Nothing
could make it work, it was dead I did surmise-
‘As usual, I’m left wanting more!'
