You Non-believers

You non-believers

What will it take for you to

Realize the truth

There are things beyond this world

That none of us can explain

Demons, shadow men

Ghosts lost in between the worlds

This is nothing new

Look back to antiquity

They existed before Christ

Spirits From Beyond

Spirits from beyond

Whether you believe or not

It’s all up to you

But don’t be shocked if one day

You’re face to face with the dead

Masked Ghosts And Goblins (Tanka)

Masked ghosts and goblins

Dashing madly, house to house

Time for trick or treat

Who doesn’t like Halloween

When chocolate is the prize

Do Spirits Exist (Tanka)

Do spirits exist

Walking the earth after dark

Or are we alone

It can’t be coincidence

That things go bump in the night

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Ghosts

Ghosts are haunting me

Are they real or imaged

What does it matter

Things long dead keep appearing

Wanting to rejoin this life

This can’t be allowed

The past must be left buried

Buried forever

Like the fate of all dead things

To rest in peace–eternal

A Ghostly Apparition (Sonnet)

A ghostly apparition on shoreline I spied,

Pacing to and fro through deep hours of night.

I thought from my window I captured her cry

From what must have been a terrible fright.

Dressed all in white from an era long gone

Stream of tears from my eyes I did shed.

Distress in her step and the pipers last song

This lover to her death must’ve led.

Legend exists of a star-crossed romance

Ending in the most tragic of ways.

They claim it occurred by strange circumstance

Young lovers they drowned in the bay.

When the shock finally passed nothing, but sorrow did I feel

There was nothing I could offer for her wounds I could not heal.

The Dark Angels Fly (Tanka)

The Dark Angels fly

Back to the netherworld

Cloaked in ghoulish smiles

Proud of their terror unleashed

Anxious for the coming year

All Hallows Eve (Acrostic)

Approach with haste O’ pagan night

Let ghost and ghoul cause scream and fright

Little children in costume plead

Holding out bags, on treats they feed

Alas the spirits under moonlit sky

Lumber and moan from low and high

Leading us all in a sinister dance

On Halloween in the devils prance

We think not of the origin of day

Slinking around in the shadows we play

Ever oblivious is probably best

Villains and monsters and all of the rest

Endear this festival from east to west

Supernatural (Tanka)

Supernatural

Souls lost between provinces

Unable to leave

Reliving their earthly hell

Trapped in the netherworld
